Ground Point

I want to install NOCO onboard 5A battery charger. It comes with 2 ring terminal connectors. I believe I could probably use the +12V in the engine bay fuse box. But where/what GND point in the engine can I use that will work with the ring terminal?

ALL,

Never mind. I found a GND point in the engine compartment. But the difficulty was where do I locate the NOCO 5AMP onboard charger. Just no many good spots in the engine bay. I ended up installing the entire setup under the right rear passenger seat. Using the 12V and GND point associated with the under seat fuse box. I am now running an extension cord outside under the passenger door to connect the NOCO Charger to my outdoor outlet. This will at least allow me to keep the 12V battery fresh while it's not being driven.

Thank you!
