Battery Tender & Accessport

[Jkysh]

Did you have your keys in your pocket? My screen will sometimes flicker when I walk up to the truck and it senses the fob nearby.

No keys - dead sleep hah, but that happens sometimes to me also.

Read the truck’s manual, negative shouldn’t be on the terminal. Yes, older vehicles could be on the terminals but not with the new battery management system.

Also, here’s a video explaining it in detail if you’ve got the time.

How To - Charge your battery.

Another very good video…

I dont daily the truck and when I do it is often on short trips. Great video!

Edit - this is how I initially installed my tender. The wire my finger rests on is the negative from my tender. Should have clarified it is not "on" the negative post itself.

That is hooked up correctly such that all the in/out amps are measured by the ammeter in that plastic block.
