Battery Tender Plus Usage
I've taken the battey out of my '64 and want to hookup my battery tender plus since I won't be driving it for a few more months. Can I just attach the (-) black terminal to the (-) post on the battery and the (+) red terminal to the (+) side of the battery. I had read somewhere about using a 24" terminal hookup extension cable on the
(-) negative side of the battery to hook up the (-) battery tender terminal to. Is that necessary or can I just attach them directly to each battery post?

Your fine. that 24 inch terminal hookup is for connecting permanently to the battery such that you can just plug the tender in easily. For example, I attached the 24" leads to my motorcycle and the lead comes out in some accesible place and I just connect to that rather than having to remove the seat to use the clips on the battery posts.
