Same here. I would be intrigued as to the reasoning. I did a little googling 
and most of the advice against starting with the battery charger connected 
seemed to be grounded in misunderstandings about how electricity works. The 
best answer was that if you get in the habit of disconnecting your shore power 
cord, it minimizes the risk that you leave the dock with the cord still 
attached.

 Right or wrong, I do it all the time.  I'd entertain an explanation of why it 
is bad.

Listers,
I’m seeing conflicting opinions on the web and would like to know from the 
collected wisdom of the group. 
Is it OK or not OK to start your engine while your battery charger is running? 
I was surprised to see some people say it is not, as people have been 
jump-starting their car engines for decades, but am interested in seeing what 
you all have to say on this. 

All the best,
Edd
