Battery charging ground point

Stop-start battery.

Where on the engine is the ground point to connect the negative clamp of the battery charger? As per the instructions of the ctek battery charger the negative supply should be clamped to a ground point on the car and not the battery terminal.

Any paintless bolt on the engine should do.

He doesn't seem to believe us -- he just posted the same question on the "pay for membership" QQ site two hours ago!

I suspect makemywish is getting confused with earth/ ground of domestic wiring and that of the cars negative earth.

Hopefully he's got his battery charged now. I wonder if he has the dreaded "Dying Fiamm" syndrome?
