Does that billet battery mount fit that battery specifically, or does it have some adjustability to allow for any smaller battery?
Out of curiosity, what was your reason for installing Connectors for the battery tender in the trunk? Why not just use the battery connections under the hood?

The battery mount is specific to the Odyssey D35 series (red or yellow top) batteries although I am sure others in that approximate size range could be made to fit. The nice part is that is has an extra brace to mount the BMW 'power block' integrated into it.
Never really considered just using the jump posts under the hood to be honest, but that is a fine idea. The only thing I would want to check is if you get any artificial voltage drop when not connecting direct to the battery that might throw off the tender. |
They are an extension of the terminals, so it should work fine. My dealer had a CTEK tender (same one I use) on every showroom car, all connected to the under hood points.
