Our 2014 RTL has the Battery Charger plug at the top of the "Frunk" where it hinges up at full open position. .... Unless someone moved it (???) :cheers:

If you're asking if it came from the factory with one, then the answer is no. I understand that "some" dealers did install them while others did not, but I wouldn't count on it.
It's best for you to look and see for yourself.

No factory battery tender on any Spyder I am aware of - these are added by a dealer or owner.

My dealership comped a Battery Tender Jr. as part of the OTD deal. The fused lead is directly from the battery and pokes its head out of the frunk liner zipper on the right side of the Spyder.

As mentioned earlier, a few dealers install the tender lead to the batteries. If you do not find the lead, the install is easy. Just remove the frunk basket. That will expose the battery. Purchase a battery tender junior. That comes with the lead. Add the leads to the battery posts and run the plug out under the basket, coming out through the top. It can dangle in the frunk waiting to be used.

Page 150 in the operator's manual has the following note:
NOTE: When fuse 6 is installed, 12 V power outlet is only operational when ignition switch is at ON position. When fuse 7 is installed, 12 V power outlet is always operational.
If you leave the fuse in 6 and 7 blank, you can plug the tender into the power outlet in the trunk when the Spyder is turned off. I've done this for 11 years with no problems.

:agree: I did the same thing on my 2013 RTL & on my current 2017 RTS. Easiest mod you will ever make.
