CTEK MXS 5.0 Charger and Accessories. First Impressions and Fitting to my Mercedes C220d W205

Since recording this video I have seen in the manual it states that you should connect the negative terminal to the earth point of the vehicle:
moba.i.daimler.com/baix/cars/... states: 'Connect negative terminal of donor battery to earth point of your vehicle using the jump lead,'

Auto charger for vehicles with Start&Stop function
Fast Start/Stop charging
The CT5 START/STOP battery charger and maintainer has been specially designed to charge and maintain batteries in Start/Stop vehicles.
Start/Stop technology is great for the environment but it can put a considerable strain on your battery, especially if it’s in an older car. By keeping the battery fully charged, you can take full advantage of all the Start/Stop technology benefits, such as better fuel efficiency and lower CO2 emissions. If you only make short journeys, use the CT5 START/STOP once a month to keep your battery in peak condition. And if you’re going away on holiday, just connect the charger to the battery to make sure your car’s ready to go when you return.
- Fully optimized for cars with Start/Stop technology, e.g. AGM and EFB batteries
- No buttons to press - fully automatic charging
- 5-year warranty
- Simple to use with an easy to understand display
- Reverse polarity protected
