Default Question, Battery Maintainer Hookup for New Mustang

Just bought a nice used 2024 Mustang GT. Was wondering if anyone else has one and uses a battery maintainer on it? If so, any advice on how to hook one up? I used a male plug in adapter in the accessory port of the right rear hatchback of my former C7. Was very simple and worked great. Does anyone know if maybe the Mustang has a port that can be used in a similar fashion?

We have a 20 Mustang GT. I don't use a battery tender I just start it once a month here in chilly MN. Let it run for about 30 or so minutes. Has worked well for me.

Ford does not provide any 12V you can use to charge. All of them are on some sort of RAP/Switched Power. They go dead after 15 minutes max.

You have to install terminals on the batteries. I have them on all my Fords, and then I just plug in the charger.

If you have a CTEK its this -> https://www.ctek.com/us/battery-char...nect-eyelet-m8
