Battery tender - no bonnet lift needed?

[2026DHCARB]

Dear all, any ideas on how to install a SAE cable for a battery tender as a no lift bonnet solution?

Thanks!

let it hang down and secure the pig tail with zip ties.

You'll have to reach/crawl under the car to access it.

Just make sure it is fused as close the the battery as is possible, Battery Tender brand chargers have a fuse holder and 7.5 amp fuse near the ring terminal

I like having the hood popped a bit. Makes it simpler to know when it’s plugged in. way less likely to rip the tender out of the wall outlet.

Thanks! I do have a fuse, but want a more comfortable location for it. Ideally in the grill or on the edge of the windshield close to the battery. A intermediate comfort location would be on the wheel well, easy to install a “socket”, but dirty and cumbersome to plug and unplug…

Haha, been there, but I must admit I reversed with the hood popped out a bit…
