Has anyone found the negative terminal in the engine compartment? I have an air compressor that uses alligator clips to hook on to the battery. I have found the positive terminal, but can't locate a negative terminal. Do you have to pull up the rear seat to operate equipment like that? This would also be an issue if you were trying to jump start a friend's car with the Grenadier as the donor.

Thanks, hopefully this is not a repeat question.

Hi @Iggle

Asked and answered several times but it's not easy to locate via a search without the magic keywords.
The negative side connects to the lifting ring on the front of the engine.
Example here with a pic.
 
It should be in the Owners Manual.

Also paragraph 13.3 of the Dok Dr Guide. @Rok_Dr

The lift ring or bolt works equally well so choose what you prefer. Just know that the bolt is a direct to body ground where the lifting eye finds its path to ground through grounding strap(s) attached between the engine and body/chassis.

I used the bolt to install a CTEK charging lead/monitor as it was easy to attach to.

As posted earlier, I attached two of the same CTEK leads, directly to the battery terminals on both of my trial masters batteries.
I went along this route just so I can see the difference in each battery charge.
