Battery tender question

[Slyfox]

I did not lose power but I made sure with a screwdriver in one hand the wires already on the terminal continued to make contact with the base after I removed the nut before I attached the charger wire.

Thanks, will give it a try

What about the kind that charge through a 12v outlet in the car? I was thinking of getting one of those so I don't have to touch the battery.

I've never used one, but seems they should work fine.

Is there any problem leaving the cables in all of the time? Since the tender has a quick disconnect, it looks like once I connect it, I can leave it in I am concerned about the heat under the hood once I start driving again in the spring.

It will be fine.
Just make sure you secure it so it does not get into belts and stuff.

I did mine similar.


Except not at all. My tender is on the bike which is jumper cabled to the car and the lawn tractor.

...this is the way I did it.

That's fantastic. Thanks. One question though. Mounted to the strut tower, between the ground wire and strut tower brace, what is that metal bracket? None of my 2015 GT PP Cars have it.

Many thanks again!

Here's a picture of my 2015 GT PP with the QC harness installed - but with no additional bracket mounted to the strut tower as pictured above.

What's connected to it? Looks like it could be a remote mount for a Catch Can?
