I'm sorry, what the hell are you talking about and what exactly are you looking for? You've been given pictures (Google Image) what is it that you don't get and why the pity party.

Huh?

Plus to plus, minus-gative to minus-gative.

Don't forget to plug the charger into the wall outlet.



This isn't difficult.

You're talking about hooking up a battery tender, aren't you? Not buying a used car on this thread, correct?

ok i figured it out, this should be a sticky,
problem , kept noticing charger always showing battery half charged
solution and conclusion
took charger out of battery area and left out above hood, all of a sudden battery showing fully charged , it seems the interior lights and hood interior light was draining enough so the tender was showing half, so just a update in case anyone cares

i know its weird but dayum if i have the hood open the tender goes into middle position the hood light uses a lot of power, but if i close the hood the light in the charger goes into maintenance mode
very weird indeed, who would have thought a light like that would use so much power

The light doesn't use a lot of power, but a tender doesn't put out much power. It's not a battery charger, it's a maintainer.

You can leave the hood up, the light will go out after 15 mins, if no doors are opened. If you open a door, the hood light will come back on for another 15 mins. Or just take the bulb out if it bothers you that much.
