Charge battery while in vehicle?

Can we trickle charge the battery while it is inside the vehicle using the jumping terminals inside the engine bay?

I'm just worried if it will fry any of the other electronics.

If I don't drive my car for a week, I put it on the battery tender from BMW. I leave the battery in the trunk, I don't even open the trunk. So you'll be fine.

Agree. I've left my BMW battery tender on for as much as 4 weeks using the terminals under the hood. Never a problem.

NO TRICKLE CHARGE. Get a battery tender and it can sit for a long time. I've connected it under the hood and in the trunk
