Battery tender connection

[gregh]

I can't say enough good things about the NOCO Genius GEN5X with the NOCO GCP1. In my GX, I did a lot of experimenting with batteries and charging before I switched over to using a Jackery to run my fridge. I made a mounting plate for it and tucked it away. It has a lead that bolts to the battery terminals. It just turned out so clean, and having the marine plug on the fender always made people curious.

There are two easily accessible locations for attach a battery tender pig tail. I have a pigtail in each location.

The underhood Passenger's side fuse box. Using the existing stud located next to the "Jumper cable" connection point (yellow dashed circle). You can add another nut to the existing stud.

Just to confirm, the yellow circle bolt/nut/thread is the Positive terminal?

For a pigtail, 10A fuse should be gtg?

Can you recommend a good ground bolt/nut for the Gnd?

Thank You!

Correct, if you wish it hide the connection, you can remove the "corner" plastic piece and there is another stud to the left of the yellow circle. You would have to drill a hole for the new wire to exit, but that will allow the fuse box cover to snap closed. As far as the ground any of the bolts holding the fender or other things that are bolted to the body.

@EOD Guy would you happen to know what size nut and thread pitch for the + terminal?

TIA

I don't remember exactly but I think it was an 8mm thread (10 mm wrench) you don't really need a extra nut, you can loosen/remove the existing nut, place your new ring terminal on the stud and reuse the nut. (that's what I did)
