Take this advice to the bank. This is the correct way to recharge a battery. But to each his own. Save the Wave.Good Luck.>George

My question is, with all the electornics (2004 convertible) on this car, am I risking any damage if I just jump start it or should I remove the battery and have it charged?
Thanks,
