Ive struggled to find any Volvo reference that supports this notion, on the contrary, the below link talks about the battery in the boot and in the same breath mentions trickle charging with no mention of needing to connect under the bonnet. Before I buy a CTEK lead to attach direct to the battery in the boot, can anyone inform me where the "must be trickle charged by connecting to bonnet terminals" message comes from?

There is a battery monitor unit on the battery negative cable near the terminal end.. if you clip a charger across the battery terminals this Battery monitor will not measure the current flow It stores a lot of information . so that's why the charging negative lead has to go to the body of the car on the special terminal provided.. so that the charging current goes through the battery monitor and the data is stored.
