Taycan Winter Storage Prep - CTEK Battery tender?

@Mike in CA awesome! Sorry, I was asking where you store the comfort quick connect piece under the hood.

That's a good question. I wondered where specifically to attach them myself.

Sorry for the misunderstanding.

Although I've used the quick connect piece you show in the photo in other vehicles I don't use it in the Taycan. The reason is because it is designed to attach semi-permanently directly to the battery terminals and in the Taycan the actual 12V battery is not readily accessible. Instead, the remote positive and negative posts located under the plastic cover are much better suited to work with the alligator clips I showed in my original photo (post #5).

What I do use is the CTEK Comfort Connect Extension Cable which allows me to reach the under-hood terminals from where the charger is mounted.

I think things got confused because you mentioned the extension cable in your question (post #12) rather than the quick connect piece so that's where I got off base. Hope this clarifies things.

@Mike in CA perfect.

In that case, I'm going overkill and purchase the CTEK PRO25SE

Which is completely unnecessary, and on top of that, you can also get a cheaper one PRO25S with a shorter cord: https://smartercharger.com/collections/professional/products/pro25s.

I already have MXS25SEC's in each of my garage ports, so I can utilize the same bracket and mount the PRO25SE.

I was contemplating getting the one you have, the CTEK Lithium US for portability and quick connect, but since the comfort doesn't attach and needs alligator clips, I'll go with the larger unit for kicks.

Here is the MSX25SEC on a wall hanger:

Well, as they say, go big or go home!
