Battery tender points

Since my wife has been working from home since the start of the Covid thing, we don't use the Prius as much because that was her commuter car.

I finally got around to deciding to attach a battery tender (Noco Genius2d), and thought there was a bolt for the eyelet right at the positive jump tab in the fuse box, but apparently that's the Gen2.

I prefer NOT to connect/run it all the way in the back at the battery, so does anyone with a Gen3 actually have one mounted under the hood? If so, where do you bolt the positive terminal to? There are a lot of places to bolt the negative to.

 

GREAT! Thanks a bunch!

 

That's interesting. From what I can find, it appears that the jump tab in the Prius runs directly to the positive of the battery (albeit through 1 fuse). Ground is, well, ground. But this observation is based on wiring diagrams others have posted in PC (I don't have access to the wiring diagrams myself).

PERHAPS, the Fusion's jump point goes through some circuitry? Of course, I haven't looked in to the gauge/length of wiring between the jump point and the battery, but I could see how the resistance of the wiring could cause issues via voltage drop on how the tender perceives the actual voltage at the battery terminal. For JUMPING purposes, any mild voltage drop wouldn't matter - unless using a new fangled lithium pack and the actual battery voltage is borderline so the jump pack doesn't sense the battery correctly. But many jump pack now days have "boost" mode that bypasses the sensing (at the risk of bypassing safety features - such as checking for reverse polarity).
