I connected my battery charger ring terminal quick connect cable to one of the free positive studs next to the + jump start post under the hood and the neg to the ground stud on the rad support just in front of it. I then ran the cable and quick connect plug through a gap next to the top of the radiator in to the front grill area. I then cable tied it to the radiator plastic mesh screen with enough of a tail that I can fish it out with my fingers. It tucks nicely behind a void on the USA passenger side of the front grill when not in use and it is out of sight. When I need to charge I just use my index finger to fish it out and plug in. When done I just push back behind the grill so it is out of sight again. This way I do not have to have the hood open or any doors or windows open to charge my batteries. I work from home so my vehicle can sit for days, so I always have it plugged in to a noco charger and this setup makes connecting to my charger quick and easy. I like this setup also for camping with shore power, I can just bring my 10amp water resistant noco charger and plug in to shore power while my vehicle is totally sealed to the rain or bugs. One tip that I recommend is to leave a big note on your drivers seat, to remind you that your charger is connect, so you do not drive off while connected. On a side note, keeping my battery on a battery charger when not in daily use, has prolonged my battery life by large factor. I got more than 10years out of my starter battery on my previous vehicles using this approach. Batteries are not cheap these days.
