Remote battery charging terminals

[John510]

Does anyone have remote battery charging terminals? Getting my battery out of the trunk is a PITA. If so where did you install them? Pics? Or maybe a battery cut off switch? I need one of these.

Why not just add the wire pigtail that comes with most trickle chargers ?

Ring brothers , Eddie Motorsports, feeler lots of companies make and sell nice charging ports . I'd agree with the trickle charger set up thou. My buddy has them on his cars and toys ....easy to tuck the lead out of the way.

Didnt know they came with those. I will be ordering an Optima charger today Thanks

I love my Ctek charger. Charges Optima batteries that my Optima charger says can't be charged.

Same here, i have multiple.

I've not been a fan of any of the Optima products since they were sold.

I used a trickle / float chargers recently from Optima and was frustrated with it more than anything else. It would take 15 mins to "analyze" the battery.

Id save $100 bucks and get the CTEK.

i put a shut off and some battery lugs up under my rear bumper so i can hook up a trickle charge to my battery while keeping car shut off from power when not in use.

Just to add my cents here ---- there's a HUGE difference between being able to "trickle" charge your PITA battery location - and being able to get a JUMP to that battery if needed.... and when it's needed it's never when your hanging out in your nice dry garage.

Remote battery JUMPER studs can be used to hook a trickle charger (I also vote for Ctek - they're the best period) - so if you're planing on something farirly permanent - this is an alternative.


There's MANY ways to mount these - and just as many locations....

In a 55 Post I built for a buddy - I made a nice spot in the trunk for a cutoff switch and the posts - which was then upholstered over with a nice access panel.




And yes --- before it was finished up and installed for the last time - the red was changed out for a black (so one of each) but at the time of the build I was using what I had laying around for mock up....



















By the way -- With the new electronics all having memory now that needs constant power -- I alway put a 3 or 5 amp fuse across the switch terminals so there's power even with the switch turned off. It's enough to run the memory and obviously not enough to start the car! LOL
