Is it ok to charge a battery with the negative cable tied to the battery post?

Yes ( when you are using a battery charger ) Just make sure the charger is not on when you connect the cables. Another safer way is to connect the negative cable to a part of the engine and not even connect it to the battery post.


Why does your kia carnival battery keep draining?

Something is pulling power from the battery. I assume you checked the battery to see if it is ok and does not have a bad cell. Can be any light on the vehicle that is on. Under hood light, trunk light, courtesy light, glovebox light, trunk light, or even a brake light. Can also be a relay that is stuck.
