Battery Cables with Auxiliary Leads? (Help with battery conditioner connections)

Hello,
I recently purchased a battery conditioner/charger for my wife’s 89 Camaro. The problem is that I do not want to cut the boots around the battery cables to attach the ring terminals. Her car has very low miles and I do not want to hack the car. I have seen battery cables out there with auxiliary leads. Are there any out there specifically made for this car?

If any one has other ideas, any information would be greatly appreciated. We want to do something that if we ever decide to sell that car, we could remove the conditioner and there would be no evidence of the battery conditioner.

Thank you!
Scott

Side mount battery with adapters. One (of the two) can be seen in the lower right of the following pic:

I have a battery with both side terminals and top posts.
Although I haven't done it myself, I saw an application where the side terminals are used in the conventional way with the OEM cables and the top terminals had post clamps on them with provisions for additional accessories.

Check the battery section at Vatozone. They carry replacement battery termnal bolts that are double-ended. One end secures the cable to the battery. The other side has a stud and nut to where you can attach ring terminals, etc.
