Battery Charging posts

I know some of you guys have had to install battery charging posts on the back of the car. For those of you who have, drop some pics down below. I would like some ideas on how to do mine.

Re: Battery Charging posts

No pics. Battery is mounted in the back. Basic charge posts attached to the rubber bumper cover with cables going straight to the battery so even if the master switch is turned off, the battery can still be charged. One thing I never did but should do is mount a voltage gauge near the posts so the battery voltage is easier to see.

Re: Battery Charging posts

My charging posts are in the L taillight housing in the black plastic part near the license plate. My shutoff switch is in the R taillight housing plastic.

Re: Battery Charging posts

In the taillight housing is probably better. Mine in the bumper cover picked up a lot of track rubber when I put the car up on the bumper
