Battery tender leads thru charge port cover

[Big guy]

I believe I agree with you. Wouldn't it have been wonderful if Ford had designed in a "battery tender" type system. If the drive battery can supply power to an entire house for days imagine how long it could trickle charge its own 12 volt battery even if the truck wasn't plugged in. If you were storing the truck for several months go ahead and disconnect the 12 battery. Or have Ford leave a 110 volt battery tender lead hanging out thru the charge door area or somewhere weatherproof. No different if you were going to leave an ICE truck stored for several months. You use a battery tender.
We only disconnect the battery when we store a Classic car because we don't have access to 110 v for a battery tender. Thx again for the input.

I ran the wire through the top so the hole will not be visible if I remove it. Also shown the cover for the J1772 port with tie wrap pull strap and a “can’t drop it tail”.
