Optima Battery/Battery Tender Question
I am using the side posts on the Optima Yellow Top to run my car...can I hook up the battery tender to the top posts at the same time to keep my battery charged during the winter?
Thanks!

Sure, but I just use kind of a medium size clamp and go right to the side posts............actually I guess I should say to the bolt heads........

I have an adapter that I use with my tender to plug it into the cigar lighter. Works great as I don't have to run wires under the hood or risk one of the clamps falling off.
