According to the instruction manual for my Schumacher maintainer, that is the correct way to charge a battery in a negative ground car. I didn’t realize that until I read the manual recently.
Of course I’ve been doing it wrong on my Model A for the last 7 years with my a Battery Tender (BT), but it seems to work. The BT is electronic so maybe it can adjust to the polarity. The BT only provides 2 amps of output so it could be that it is not enough current to damage the battery.
