Ok, it's raining, 60 MPH winds .. and its starting to snow. You need to open the hood and prepare for your good neighbour to give you a jump. Oh, right .. the Negative Terminal is under the Air Intake, .. ah, and that it under the plastic cowling with 9 clips. You are getting soaked .. you have a choice .. use the positive terminal and find metal for the negative or risk loosing clips, getting more soaked as you disassemble your new 2017 Ridgeline!.


Solution ..

Add a Boost, Jump Charge Plug. $20.00 .. and 15 mins work.

When you use chassis to ground the EMS may fault. There are three chassis contact points that will avoid this .. but the issue is ease of use.

The NOCO system (e.g. GB40) comes with a lithium jumpstarter which will give you 20 jumps on a single charge. This would be for jumping yourself.
For others, the unit comes with jumper cables that have the X-Connect cable that also connects to the plug at the battery site.

Additionally the X-Connect system has lots of cabling options .. that fit into the battery site plug you install. https://no.co/products/accessories/x-connect

Leaving the connector in close proximity to the battery is perfect from a safety issue. Shorting conductors heading to batteries is a frequent cause of battery fires. The zap straps and area protection where it terminates provides weather and mechanical protection. The length is provided on the jumper cables.
