I got this one:

https://www.amazon.com/Battery-Tender-Selectable-Lithium-Charge/dp/B07XMJDJX7/ref=sr_1_5?crid=1VSJKVYJUT0SO&keywords=Battery+tender+lithium+agm&qid=1690715735&sprefix=battery+tender+lithium+agm,aps,99&sr=8-5&ufe=app_do:amzn1.fos.18ed3cb5-28d5-4975-8bc7-93deae8f9840

It was at Costco however and around $50 bucks

Yep, under the hood is the recommended location for a battery charger (jumping the battery as well). I feel the ring terminals are an easier way of hooking up than alligator clips and they look cleaner too, but personal preference. Suggestion: until you install the lithium battery I would get a charger with an AGM setting. Then once you install the new one change it to a charger for lithium batteries. For a visual here’s my setup.

Thank you sir! Well done explanation and pics 👏🏼

Looks like in the top pic I could just put the battery tender positive terminal on the red bolt and the black on the ground big lump to the left or the same size bolt on the right.

(I’m waiting for Bryan to reply - show him pics of how to put gas in his car as well 😆)

The big hunk on the left is the positive hook up for jumping/charger that sits under the red cap in the second picture. I believe everything in that area is considered a positive hook up for the battery. That’s why there’s a separate post on the fender. Reason I went under the nut with the positive is so the black cover could be put back on without bending the ring terminal more than I liked.

Took her out for a Sunday morning blast!
Also used one of those "air con bombs" while we were parked up for a coffee, planning to use that in between cabin filter changes, to keep any smells at bay.

It looked so good in the Sun today - after that, 3 hour wash, deep cleaned the wheels today in particular, did arches as well, and the rear part of the spokes which I usually skip and gets neglected...

Maintenance schedule I got says 14.4 k for sparks, does that sound about right?
tbh I estimate at my 2nd year service the Supra will have around 5k-6k miles, so I might just ask them to change sparks anyway at that point.
