Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order.

I like keeping the cabin sealed up the entire 6 month hibernation period since I use a desiccant.

Is that any better than just using the cigarette lighter adaptor?

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I'm installing a new battery and was going to add the permanent battery tender leads. Is that any better than just using the cigarette lighter adaptor? The adapter is certainly more convenient.

POST 2Original post

POST 3Original post

POST 4Original post

I went directly to the battery and routed the cable and connector so it is easily accessible by opening the frunk a bit. Trick is to not drive off with it connected.

POST 6Original post

I think direct to the battery is best for long term and that's what i do!!

POST 7Original post

I really don't think there is any significant difference as long as the connection is solid. The cigarette lighter is always live and works fine for a battery maintainer. I've been using that approach for years. Having said that, with the cigarette lighter there is a risk that the connection would break which would prevent the charger from working. I had that happen one year but managed to realize it before the battery was completely dead.

A true but very remote possibility. Easy solution: 1) once a month, lift locked door handle. The battery tender light will immediately activate, to charge, and confirm proper connection. You can also cycle the locks with the key fob. Sent from my iPhone using Rennlist

POST 9Original post

Exactly. Actually in my case I usually sit in the car, start the radio, and walk through the gears (without starting the car of course). Just to make sure the battery tender is connected and working of course.
