Are there any special requirements or connections one needs to be mindful of in a "Positive Ground" Healey with regards to hooking up a Battery Minder for the winter? Should the battery be removed before connecting? Or, just attach positive to positive and negative to negative, as with a regular negative ground system?

I have a Battery Tender Jr on mine and hook it up like any other battery. Pos to Pos and Neg to neg. I leave it in the car.
