Ok, I decided to get lazy this year and not disconnect or take the batteries out of my sleds during summer storage. I store my sleds in my garage and there is some evidence of mice activity although they have never caused a problem. I purchased a 4 bay battery tender which came with the eyelet and alligator connectors. If I wire it up with the eyelet connectors, I am not sure what I would do with all the slack during the riding season so I simply hooked them up with the alligator connectors. Due to the orientation of the batteries and clearance, I can not get the side panels on the sleds shut with the alligator connectors hooked up. I now have the side panels propped open slightly. I am a bit worried that I made easy access to vital wiring for the mice. I guess I could hook up the eyelet connectors during storage and be able to shut the side panels but that goes against making things easier and if I am going to disconnect the batteries to install the eyelets, I might as well pull the batteries and bring them inside. Anyone running battery tenders and using the eyelet connectors? If so, what do you do with extra length of connector while riding? Zip tie it to something? Sleds are ski doos. 2010 GT 600 Sport, 2014 MXZ Sport and 2016 Renegade 800 Adrenaline. Thanks,
