Thought I would update on my testing of hooking up the battery tender. I determined that due to the slight variance in the panel lines that it was best to route the charger wire out the side of the hatch as shown in an earlier post as the panel gap was a bit wider. While the seal does give a little i was still not happy with how tight the fit was and the strain on the wire. The next test was to hang the cable out the back of the hatch and then close it but not latch it. As suggested I went to grab a coffee and came back to check and sure enough the inside hatch lights went out after 10 minutes. So I think that is the way I will go over the winter. Throw the cover on it and have the maintainer sitting on a stand up off the floor so I can easily check the status lights. Have included a photo of what it looks like.
