Default Trickle Charge RCF?

What is the general opinion on trickle charging the RCF if it's a car that isn't used all the time? I have a battery tender I used for my previous car, as of right now I don't have it charging.

Also, how do I access the terminals? I'm away right now and can't look at the car, I'm assuming it has some type of cover over the terminals. Was trying to look at pictures online! Hoping there is a quick and easy way.

Thanks

you just pop off each terminal cover.


yeah i used one on my battery all winter. it turns on and off when it needs to be used or charged. works fine. actually today was my first day driving the car for awhile.

awesome so it's just a simple process. Some cars have a giant cover over everything, was hoping the RCF wasn't like that.

Mine is on a battery tender now (also Flatstoppers) while in Punta Cana for the winter. Will let you know how it went.

Battery Tender is the only way to roll and, quite naturally, the expensive one with the Lexus name is the best! Just kidding!

Just hooked it up today, trying to figure out the best place to place the clamp over the positive terminal, any suggestions? Seems like the small screw facing the windshield portion of the car is the only spot it fits on.
