Photo of Leven jump start cable fitted?

Am I missing the point, or does the only place the Andersen connector in this kit fit make it impossible to access it without opening the bonnet? Has anyone fitted one who can give me some pictures or tips?

TIA!

I have the Leven Anderson Connector fitted to my Griff. The kit is normally fitted to the chassis under the bonnet so it is impossible to access it without opening the bonnet, however if you know you car well then if the battery does go flat then that is not going to be an issue

It makes jumping the car much easier as there is no need to crawl around in the footwell trying to locate the battery terminals.

I also have the anderson connector for my Accumate charger which I prefer to the ciggy lighter adapter.

You can see the connector at the bottom right of this pic:

I went the easy route for my Accumate.

Thanks guys. I have an Accumate cable plumbed directly into the battery and I've hooked it up to a coil cable that goes out of the window and into a charging socket on the fence.

I had hoped that the Andersen connector would make it easy to jump start if necessary (not that I have ever had to) without getting into the car although as mentioned, it's not difficult if you know how!

Would it not be possible to secrete it somewhere behind the grill?

Yeah that was my thinking, but I couldn't find anywhere that was accessible enough to plug into it but kept it hidden from view. I'm wondering whether an extra bonnet release that emerges somewhere hidden in the wheel well, plus fixing the jump point as intended might be the way forward...
