Battery tender

[Roadpig58]

Has anyone installed the deltran battery tender pigtail on their Stinger GT, and if so, how did you do it?

I'm wondering this too. If anyone has and could chime in it would be appreciated.

I've used one.. I don't leave it on all the time. But if you exit the under the hood towards the windshield there is plenty of room to not pinch the wire and close the hood.

I don't know if you've had a chance to look at your Stingers charge point yet but it's a little different to any I've had on a car before. The positive terminal is just a piece of metal sticking up and the negative is a bolt that's a good bit away from the positive, sticking out of the inside body panel. So installing the pigtail is a little bit of a mystery to me.

I've literally used the Battery Tender on it as said in my reply.

I used the pigtail with the clips. No need to keep the one with the ring terminals on all the time. If you're charging, use the clip types. The ground post is right there by it.

I should be more clear, that's what we're asking about, is how someone went about installing the ring terminals. Or at least I am, I assumed that's what the OP meant as well but I won't speak for them.

I have installed one on mine mainly because it is not my daily and stays in during bad weather. I purchased a battery tender from Amazon - https://www.amazon.com/AmazonBasics...dp/B07TZ12D18/ref=psdc_15707061_t3_B078962VRM Amazon Basics brand name. It is red (matches my car). It is made by Schumacher for Amazon. I have the ring terminals connected at the battery in the trunk. It has been on there for three months now. The quick connector has just enough lead to let me access it from under the carpet. It can easily be hidden when not in use. The only hang up - I have to leave a slight opening at the top of one of the rear windows to run the power cord out (driver's side for me - A/C outlet by that side). I also have that shorter driver side rear seatback folded down too so can shut the hatch, and have place for it to sit. Sorry - don't have pictures yet. I can take some if there is interest.
