Just wondering if anybody know how to connect battery charger to the car when using this Powergate to remap the car.
This because the powergate and ecu can get normal voltage.

Is it only to connect as charge or other mode in the battery charger ?

you could run the charger at a low setting (~2A), or you could use a trickle charger to maintain voltage while flashing

Just one thing more.
1. Can I connect the battery charger direct to the battery in the car on plus and minus? Or do I need to have minus on chassi ?

2. I have a power switch so can I connect plus and minus direct to battery and then switch on the power ?

I want only trickle charge the battery for some hour.
