CTEK Trickle Charger Lead From Cabin To Boot/Trunk
I have a CTEK charger and want to use it during the winter to keep the battery charged during the winter, I need to run the lead from the cabin to the boot/trunk, I think running it through the cubby behind and in between the seats is the best way - is this possible preferably without any drilling or cutting?

Why not just run it from the hood? I have mine zip tied to the one of the strut bars leading to firewall when not in use.

Do you mind sharing a picture of how you connect up the connector to the car (positive and negative side)? Thanks. |

Installed the wiring today directly to the battery terminals (which is how I did it in my last car) will line the lead up with the plastic indents on the rear trim panel and close the lid - Sorted!

I purchased the Panel Indicator Connector from CTEK and mounted it in my battery box. Works great and I like the green, yellow and red lights indicating the battery charge status.
