Greetings everyone;

An updated cx90 for 2026 That was just this week that I made the purchase. I would prefer to be able to attach a battery tender to it because there may be instances when it is not driven. Slightly concealed beneath in the engine compartment on the passenger side is the 12-volt battery. Is accessing the battery itself the only hassle when connecting a battery tender? The fact that the battery is so out of sight is not an issue for me with other vehicles.
Much obliged.

You can reach the positive terminal of the battery with relative ease. A body ground wire is fastened to the fender immediately in front of the battery, while the negative terminal is concealed beneath the windscreen cowl. This is the location that the owner's manual suggests for jump starting, and it should work perfectly for a charger or tender.

Thank you, RosaStyle. The delicate connection was a breeze thanks to you. So far, so good.

An eyelet connector that works with your battery tender could be used.

It connects directly to the battery terminals and lets you move the connecting side to a better spot.

Following your advice, I will attach a cord. Future hookups would be a breeze with that.
