Ya know, I have heard other people say that they too have charged them while
connected, with no problems. But I am that guy for whom the warnings are
written. I am the guy who always gets a ticket for going 3mph over. I'm the guy
who gets searched at borders and airports, and I am certainly the one guy in a
million who's F.I. computer will explode if I so much as wave battery charger
cable over it. It is what it is.

I have driven a daily driver FI Bus since 93 and have always charged it with
the
battery connected AND jump started it, which is a no no according to the Late
John Muir. I have never had a problem.Maybe I'm just lucky. I am in no way
stating I am a VW mechanic but I did stay in a Westfalia the other night...
