battery chargers

[turboaddict2]

just got a battery tender charger. The GN has been sitting in the garage for two weeks and I'm gonna get it running soon. I thought it would be a good idea to charge the battery to make sure its fully charged before I start the car. I never had experience with using battery chargers but after reading the instructions its real easy. My only question is before i put the clamps from the charger to the battery posts do I have to disconnect power from the battery before charging it?

This is an old thread,but here goes,is there a difference between a trickle charger and one of these battery tender products??Which is better??.My car sits sometimes for 2 weeks.It always starts,but I'm thinking about some sort of charger when it's colder.IT's in a covered but open carport,thanks
