So, long story short, my 2010 Maxima has a small power draw due to a remote start install. It's very small, but enough to kill the battery in about a year if left unattended. I have tried my darndest to track it down, but have yet o to figure it out. So I've just kept it on a battery tender 24/7 for the last few years. I have the pigtail sticking out of the hood so it's fairly easy to hook up.
But I want a better solution. I'd prefer to relocate the connection to the grill or something, and I'd love to have a magnetic connector, so when my wife forgets to unplug it, it will disconnect easily without tugging in the cable.
I've seen one solution, but it's like $150 just for the adapter, not including the battery tender. I wouldn't mind paying that much if it were a nice all in one solution.
Just looking for ideas. I've seen connectors thay I could wire up myself that would work, but they would leave bare contacts showing and could be dangerous, or cause a short maybe.
Anyone have a good permanent charging solution you like?
