Permanent mount battery tender

[Larry-D]

Go thru the 7 wire trailer connection will work. I have our 2018 grand Cherokee diesel and the gladiator. Both are still using the original batteries. Just make up an adapter from the battery tender to a trailer plug and just plug it in.

That's not my post, but.........
It's how I power other stuff (up to the max of 35 amps) or can connect a battery tender, etc.

I use a 12v socket adapter so if I do drive away, it would slip out easily enough and not yank wires.
A trailer plug will LOCK into place unless you prevent the tab from locking and that's why i used 12v socket adapters for some things.

Does this method still work if the aux is deleted aka ground disconnected? i like this method vs opening the hood.

Following up on my previous post. I got the C-Tek MXS5.0 and charging via the pollak trailer adapter and the ctek cig lighter. one thing i'm noticing is damn this thing gets HOT when charging in bulk mode. i have the aux deleted just by the fuse and negative cable. Got home from work to charge. Seems a little odd to me that it's charging in bulk mode instead of step 4 and was wondering if this is somehow charging the aux aswell even though the negative is not running to anything? is that even possible?
