Default Battery Tender Connection Question

Just purchased a Battery Tender Junior. For now, I'm just going to use the alligator clips.

My question is can I hook the alligator clips to the small nuts that tighten the terminal connector and this will work? Or, should I connect the clips directly to the terminals?

Thanks for the responses!

Either way will work just fine.

That should be fine as long as nothing is loose. You can also install a quick disconnect cable and attach it to the battery terminals using 6mm-1.0 metric wing nuts. These will screw right onto the exposed battery terminal treads. I ran the quick disconnect cable to the front of the car and it tucks away behind the grill. This way I can attach the battery maintainer without opening the hood every time. In my case I'm using a BatteryMinder, but it's the same idea.

You can use the remote terminals, too.
