You may be aware of this but just in case -- from the manual:Have always had my trickle charge hooked up to the terminals as detailed when I installed it:

No issues. I charge with the vehicle off anyhow. I don't know why the video is charging koeo other than to demonstrate that the sensor operates. When you restart the car, it's going to recalculate the battery charge. Video admits the car recalculates state of charge every few hours regardless. If there was any other effect, there would be some complicated procedure to calibrate after a battery replacement. I think the point about not grabbing loads directly off the battery is the most important part.
Battery Sensor Reset:
"When you install a new battery, reset the battery sensor by doing the following: 1. Switch the ignition on, and leave the engine off. Note: Complete Steps 2 and 3 within 10 seconds. 2. Flash the high beam headlamps five times, ending with the high beams off. 3. Press and release the brake pedal three times. The battery warning lamp flashes three times to confirm that the reset is successful."
