I added charging terminals accessible by removing the cover on the bumper where a tow hitch mounts. These connect directly to the battery terminals with heavy gauge cables. I attach the battery tender to these and put a piece of tape on the steering wheel that says " disconnect the charger" so the wife doesn't back out of the garage with the charger attached.

Battery still shows 12.8V after sitting 4 days without the battery tender attached. The alternator might not put out enough voltage/amperage to charge the AGM battery up all the way.
