Need advice/info on Installing battery tender harness?
Hello SL Family!
Although I don't really want to think of it, I do live in New England, and realistically, there isn't a whole lot left of a ryding season. I'd like to install a Battery Tender quick connect terminal,under the seat of my 2016 RTS Special Series, just like I had on my 2010 RT-AC, so the battery will stay charged over winter.
I tried the search feature, but had no luck. Does anyone have a quick how to? TIA!

I'd be concerned about using the outlet in the rear trunk. Some battery tenders are going to exceed the amperage limit of that connector and then you've got a potentially dangerous situation. The connection to the battery in the frunk is much safer and doesn't require messing around with fuse placement (which could lead to battery trickling OUT of the battery leaving you with a dead battery under some circumstances.
