Thats what I did, cover pops off, you have battery terminals (with nuts) right there. I had my front end off (SC install) so it was easy to route the plug to the license plate location. So no wires are seen.

The cheap charger you describe might use a transformer to convert 120V RMS AC to ~10V RMS AC, then feed that into a bridge rectifier to convert it to ~14V DC. But bridge rectifiers only work in one direction, and wont convert DC back into AC if you feed them backwards. Last edited by tecmec; 09-24-2017 at 10:40 PM. |

Has anyone verified that this is a good place to connect a charger? I pulled that cover yesterday and saw that all those terminals read 12.6 volts with everything off but was reluctant to connect my ctek to one. So for now it's just clamped to the battery cable post and taped over. Not comfortable with leaving that way over the winter.

As I said in post 10, it’s fine to connect a charger to those spots, the red big connector in the front, or the battery in the back. They all get to the same place. The best thing to do is to buy a battery tender pigtail and hardwire it to the battery leaving it to come out underneath the side wall in the trunk. Then you can Connect any other device in the future without messing with anything, a battery volt meter, a battery charger, or any other 12 V device you need.

Easy fix
This is how I did mine. Took a piece of brake bleeding tubing, about 1/4” inside diameter and used it to hold the quick connect on the positive jump start post. Worked great.

And how does this confounded positive battery terminal come off?

The plastic positive battery terminal over is in 2 pieces. One has two tabs you can squeeze and slide to the drivers side. Adding a wire blocks the ability to slide the cover back on all the way. For now I modified it to work, but ordered a new one, $60 , then I think I can grind a slot in the bottom half to run the tender wire under it and it will look like a factory install. I’ll post pics after I get the new piece.
