The closed trunk gaps are pretty tight. Regardless of where I place the wire with the trunk closed, it kinks in a manner that I'm not comfortable with. Leaving the trunk slightly open works for me. Plus I cover the car whenever I have it plugged in.

Does anyone know if the (+) connector by the fuse box can be used for boosting a dead battery?

It is NOT recommended that you use that fuse box connection to jump a dead battery. The manual states quite clearly that you jump the battery AT the battery in the rear.

It is a good spot for a battery maintainer connection but that's pretty much it.

I'm going to order this adapter for my Battery Tender. In the past I have had issues with this type of connector having to wiggle it to make connection which turned me away from using them. But I guess if people on this forum are not having any problems with them I might just be over paranoid. Probably just depends on the quality of the connector.
