Trickle Charger Connection Point?

I have a CTEK trickle charger quick disconnect with M6 (1/4in) terminal lugs that attach to the battery screw post connection on my TSX. I am in the market to upgrade to a Type S and want to migrate this over. With the battery in the trunk and the jump start connection in the front, where does one hook up the trickle charger? The MY2022 TLX manual that I read through doesn't have information regarding this.

Under the hood, there is a "+" terminal post (inside a flip-cover plastic enclosure) and an exposed "GND" terminal post located nearby. Very easy to connect them up to an AGM battery charger or an AGM battery trickle charger.

Does the positive terminal post have a M6 (1/4in) screw so that I can attach my quick disconnect? And is the GND stud a M6 (1/4in) screw?

I have this that I want to migrate over.

Go to a dealer, pop the hood and take a look

Many of us Audi owners just connect our trickle-chargers directly to the 12v AGM Car-Battery in the trunk. Similar to how you charged the TSX.

In the trunk now because that is where the battery is. It's my understanding that the 12v Battery-Terminals under the (Acura and Audi) hoods, are only extended there because that is where the engine is (think emergency jumping, etc.). Mom doesn't have to remove spare-tire to jump-car, etc.

With the standard 4 ft charger pig-tail permanently attached, I can just pop the truck and plug-in small charger at my garage wall-outlet. I have a 4-amp Battery-Tender. My favorite is this 3A Smart Charger with WiFi and App . It a Schumacher made unit .
