Battery tender hardwire locations
Question for everyone who has a battery tender on their vehicle - how do you have it attached? Do you pop the hood and hook it up via the alligator clips directly to the battery posts every time? Or has anyone hard-wired it with a connector somewhere other than the engine bay? For logistical reasons it's a little hard for me to get under the hood when the vehicle is parked in my garage. In a previous vehicle (Jaguar XKR) I put a CTEK Comfort Panel on a side wall in the trunk which worked great - I'd like to replicate or approximate that setup if I can.
All ideas welcome! Thanks!

Interesting dilemma. If you could use a fuse tap on a live circuit and connect wiring then mount the tender out of sight I suppose would work well but I really believe best to use the clips as temporary rather than permanent somewhere. I use several battery tenders on show cars but simply unclip when needed to load the car for an event
