 Use an ordinary extension cord instead

(SAE2 connector pairs are sold at WalMart in the fishing section near the trolling motor kit - go figure - for $8.00 usd )
I've got the tender mounted to a switched outlet on the shop wall, and I plan on running my extension lead in through the hood gap in the front to the connector clipped above the strut; I'm not sure if my extension is long enough for me to go in from the windshield drain slot, although I think I'm going to give that a try...
And etyu, all I can say is that I think your engine compartment is cleaner than my kitchen!?! | With the similar set-up shown below: 
The trickle charger will now be located at the lower part in the middle of the windshield instead of on the left side of vehicle. Use an old computer mouse pad for the base (I tore the glued on fabric ad on an old mouse pad, now the mouse pad has two rubber surfaces). The wire with SAE2 connector will be long enough and still thread into and connect to the prewire in the engine compartment (via the slot that leads to a drain aft of the battery compartment). The AC cord of the trickle charger goes to and hangs down from the left side of vehicle. I use an indoor/outdoor type extension cord from here to connect to an AC outlet (GFI protected) inside the garage. Just remember to put cones or the-like so people do not trip on the extension cord. In the garage, AC outlet happens to be on a post just next to the left rear tire area.
I don't think my engine compartment is cleaner than anyone else's. It's probably just the flash from the camera.
