charger in frunk?

[dshogman]

Thinking of putting my Battery-Tender inside the frunk connected to the charger pigtail there and leaving the power cord hanging outside the frunk cover. Easier to connect to power when the full Spyder cover is on. Anyone see any issues? I would think there is airflow in there, so anything I might be missing? Thanks.

I'd be reluctant to close and latch the frunklid with a cord hanging out of it...
I've never checked to see how much heat a battery maintainer puts out. :dontknow:

Any reason you don't jump the fuse to make the rear trunk plug always hot? I have a '12, but find using the cig lighter adapter for my charger back there super easy. I can't help on the front trunk though, sorry

:shocked: Genius! :thumbup: Why couldn't I have thought that one up? pps: :clap:

Why not just install an SAE two wire plug in the dash/console?

Dangerous..!!

well could be. If anything fails with the tender it would be in the frunk. Rather have a connection (plug) and run a cord to it from the tender. Rather have 13.5 volts running to the spyder than 110 volts. Jmo

No heat whatsoever. No sparks either. It is safe.
