Fitting a battery conditioner... Do's and Don'ts

[Quasimoto]

I recall seeing a post from someone that had installed a bulkhead connector under the car rather than in the boot.
Of course, I failed to bookmark it...can someone point me in the right direction?
Thank You!

That was prob me. Here are some old pictures. I’ve since redesigned the bracket with a screw-on top so that the internals are sealed.

This is the kit I used

Glad to see you jumped on this @silent cilantro. I was looking at this solution a couple of weeks ago, because I am not fond of the idea of rigging the lock to "trick' the car into thinking the back deck was fully closed. Any chance of a write-up on par with the one I received from you with my wireless phone charging tray? (he says with both sets fingers crossed at a white knuckle level )

Haha I can write something up when I get the car back. It’s at the dealer for service. It’s pretty simple.

Just warning, I went through two of these kits with my lotus evora, and they both failed due to corrosion, same location, even though the car rarely saw rain. Ended up stranded on the highway in limp mode, so be sure to check it is charging properly. I gave up.

I think having it on the underside makes a difference

I did experience corrosion, I had to open the magnetic connector and clean it out to get it to work again.

That’s why I changed the design of the bracket to a screw-on top. It has a hole on the top for the cables which I then sealed with silicone. No issues since.
