Battery Tender Question

[Penguinboy]

Hi- I have the tender and it has 2 sets of leads- one is jumper cable type and the other is the kind that you mount on the battery and let hang somewhere so it's easy to plug it in without accessing the battery every time. I have 2 questions-

1) For those that leave the lead on the battery- where do you run your wire so it's easy to access and still weather proof and out of the way?

2) Any way you can attach the tender through the 12v accessory outlet (cell phone charger) and still have all the featuyres of the tender (charge/trickle/float, etc)? Seems since that's conected to the battery, it could work. For all I know they sell one of these and I just haven't seen it...

Thanks!

They do make an adapter that plugs into the accessory outlet and I used it last winter. It works great for the trickle/float charge, but you cannot use it for the 2 amp full charge. It will blow the 1amp fuse for the accessory outlet.

Hey, who makes these and where can I get one?

I just bought one on Amazon- OEM from Deltran- like 6 bucks! Works great- just have to be suire you push it in all the way or you'll just get the blinking red light...

Right after I ordered it, my scoot shop started carring it, so I bought asecond one for the truck and riding mower. Couldn't be happier....
