Yes, connect to the earth point rather than the battery earth.

In all honesty if you are using a CTEK charger which is ‘spark free’ you can connect directly to the battery, they only tell you to connect to an earth point for approval reasons.

My Optimate charger has a permanent connector attached to the Cupra battery, with a lead that the charger just plugs into when required, Do the CTEK ones not supply that also?
