So if we have the lotus trickle charger, it should have similar permanent connectors and the Adapter you mention is all you'd need? Haven't even opened the box yet, since its still nice weather and I'm driving the car every few days.If your dealer installed the permanent connector that came with the car trickle charger, you can just by the converter and use it.
NOCO SAE Adapter
Yes, mine was already hanging out, so instead of installing the Noco one, I just bought the adapter to hook it up to my 4x2 charger, much easier, and then I can use both types of chargers for it if I need to.So if we have the lotus trickle charger, it should have similar permanent connectors and the Adapter you mention is all you'd need?

Oh to be handy and mechanically inclined. That looks better than factory. Nicely done.I went this route.
Permanently connected, and with an indicator that I see whenever I open the trunk.

Plus the terminal connector https://a.co/d/iRn0EV6 and some blade fittings from AutoZone.
Stupid question. I've literally never used a battery charger before.I went this route.

No one is going to ever accuse me of being mechanically minded, however I did this on my I4 and it took me 30mins. At least 10 of those were spent trying to work out how to get the red cable out from under the plastic cover. It was very simple, once I paid enough attentionStupid question. I've literally never used a battery charger before.
Is this the basic process?
1. Connect extra pair of terminal connectors to +/- on battery
2. Connect terminal connectors to this external CTEK battery indicator/outlet
3. Connect your actual CTEK to this CTEK battery indicator whenever you want to charge the battery
This makes battery charging a simple plug in the cable exercise.
