Default C6 and battery tender

Can a battery tender be attached to the "jump box" under the hood as opposed to actually attaching to the battery? Would be easer for me to do it this way if it would work. Appreicate your insight to my question.

Unless you storing car for prolonged period, why would you use battery tender? Last time I used on was on my boat and it fried both batteries...

If the car sits more than a week without being driven the battery starts to lose its charge. Since I work out of my house I might not actually drive the car every day so I want to maintain a full charge on the battery at all times. I will be driving even less during the coldest months of the winter but I want the car to be ready should I want to venture out.

yes you can hook up there fine, on the z06 it's about the easiest way w/o adding a plug.
