How to charge Performante/huracan battery?
Discussion
I remove the protection panel in the luggage compartment and I can see the positive and negative terminals. What should I do next? I know I should connect the red clamp to the positive terminal/pole but what about the black clamp? I googled and got two different opinions. The instruction enclosed in the battery charger says connect the other clamp to the chassis, far from the battery and the fuel line. But firstly there is not too much pace around unless I take the whole luggage compartment out. Second I can see R8 owners on YouTube just connect the black clamp to negative terminal directly. Does anyone have the experience using the clamp to charge the battery in HURACAN please? Thanks for your input.
Not an expert but that is what I do, use the two posts evident once the cover is removed. The Huracan is better designed than the Gallardo in that respect. I have been trickle charging that way for the last 10 years on Lambos with no ill effect. Much better than letting the battery go flat for sure.
Perhaps someone with more expertise can comment?

On the Performante, I connect the chargers red croc clip to positive terminal pole and black croc clip to the negative terminal pole - it's on the upper left. Btw, I read online that the charger should be plugged in before connecting or it will go into battery test mode, instead of charging. I don't know if this is correct but I have followed that method.
Surprised Lambo don't have a more hassle free set-up, even on my Scud 10yrs ago Ferrari incorporated dedicated plug under passenger dash for maintaining the battery.

The Performante comes with a really simple charger. Surprised Lambo don't have a more hassle free set-up, even on my Scud 10yrs ago Ferrari incorporated dedicated plug under passenger dash for maintaining the battery.
Just to add, the whole plug in first and then connect is in relation to the charger.
A CTEK for example is you connect then power but if you have the "OEM Lambo carbon shell with display" which should come with the car then you power first, then connect.
Most Lambo dealers pre wire a "OEM Lambo carbon shell with display" tail wire - not sure if this is the same connection as a CTEK plug?
