    That looks exactly like what came with my battery tenders.

    Now I just need to get around to actually installing them. :whistle:

    Yeah I have a quick connect (came with my CTEK charger) wired in at the front fuse box. @NutzAboutBolts has a video, on how to get the plastic cover off the positive terminal. Neg I connected to an adjacent bolt, inverter coolant reservoir support IIRC.

    once every seven years, i don't mind popping the hood and connecting a 12v source to the jump point.

    if i had to keep a tender on it, thats a different story
