L322 Connecting battery monitor/charger

micknkatenki said:

am fitting a CTEC battery monitor and slow charger, there are crocodile clips and eyelets to chose from for connecting to the battery terminal.

question - would this be ok to use the eyelets of course and go to the battery terminals or as when jump starting etc. use the points on top of the inner wing (Positive and earth bolt)

thanks

I think I bought two of the weather proof cap leads and either cut the ring connectors off and soldered on another SAE connector or I bought a weather proof cap with an SAE connector instead of ring connectors.
Something like that anyway

I used an optimate 6 on mine as they have ring connectors that are held in place on top of the battery terminal with a nut and the other end is a waterproof connector. When I was using a solar charger I ran the cable out under the wing by the battery and in through the door shut by the hinges and into the glovebox. They are designed to be left out in an accessible place under the car as the connection has a weather proof cap.
I bought a long extension cable off eBay with the same two way weather proof connector. I'll try and find some fots
