The charger should come with the aligator clips and a set of ring terminals both of which have a quick disconnect on them. They sell the cig charger end at PRI for 10 bucks so that price on amazon is really good. It should simple unplug and plug right in. The charger nhirsch posted is the newer one that also has the recondition mode and shows you what step it is at. I like it a lot better then the original charger.

True. Someone suggested ceramic brakes for my car when I was configuring it and I sprung for those. This charger's cost is 1/100 compared to those and given I'm very happy with the ceramics, the charger is relatively nothing.

BTW, I attach the manual for the charger referenced FYI

What is PRI? and why would $10.15 be really good if PRI was $10?

Install of CTEK US 4.3

I received the charger and installed it tonight. I'm happy with install but wonder if anyone has any better idea. I didn't drill any holes or modify car so I can undo it if a better idea comes along.

First picture is what it looks like under the hood. Red cover hides 3 "+" connectors including one big round post. The negative pipe can be seen just forward sticking out. It is simply a conductive pipe attached to the frame. I stuck the camera inside to show how the white acorn nut holds it to the frame.

Also one picture shows a closeup of my use of a stainless steel small hose clamp to hold the "-" connector to the ground pipe still leaving pipe to clam onto if necessary.

The next picture is everything connected with the small "comfort monitor/indicator" flashing the existing charge level of the battery.

Then I connected the charger and took a couple pictures showing it at stage 3 out of 8.

Finally a picture of the nice bag that comes with the charger--reinforcing that you connect the DC before the AC, then set the mode.

Only allowed 5 pics so continue in next post.

Install of CTEK US 4.3 remaining pics

Here are the final pictures with the charger plugged in and charging.

Note. It's been about 20 minutes since I took the pictures and it's on stage 4 now. That little charger gets pretty hot!
