Trickle battery charger

I have a Ctek trickle charger to keep my battery in full form during the winter months. Vehicle is not used every day.

Seeking recommendations on where I could connect the charging wires on a permanent basis? On the battery terminals or a easier place of access?

CTEK makes a terminal connector that tucks away nicely when not in use.

That’s exactly what I use too. Attached directly to battery terminals and tuck away behind it when not in use. Rubber/silicone caps make it safe and easy.

Thanks. I have the Ctek harness, so guess I'll connect to the battery terminals. That's the way I was thinking of doing it but wanted a confirmation.

Installed the Ctek harness to the battery terminals. Charger connected when vehicle is not in use to keep the battery in top shape. Simply unplug charger at the harness end and tuck under beside the battery before driving out of the garage. Simple.
