Could someone tell me where I can hook up my trickle charger leads? I'm hoping it's somewhere convenient to put on/take off.

Thanks.

There are points under the hood that are very easy to access.

I bought an extension and mounted it to the battery. Just leave the extension coiled up in the trunk, very easy to get to and it is better to have it connected directly to the battery.

I attached my battery tender directly to the battery and then cut a slit into one of the cap-plugs in the trunk and leave the wires hanging just below the trunk. The cord has a cover to snap on when driving but I can remove that to plug in the charger and never need to open the trunk.
Works great for me but mines not a daily driver, just need to remember to "Remove before Flight" They also make extension cords if you need to park away from the outlet and leave the power supply inside.

That sounds like a really good idea: I think I'll try that. Mine's not a DD either. Thanks!
