I just used wire cutters to take a little notch out of the rings and gently loosened the battery cable and slipped them on. This has been done since around a week after I got the car 2.5 months ago.

Indeed that will work, but I didn't want to touch the factory nuts at all, even to loosen them, and there is enough thread visible to catch a second thinner nut there.

On the cable length issue, that Battery Tender cable isn't proprietary actually, you could buy a longer one with the same connections (Schumacher makes them for example) and avoid the extension cable, but since I already have the included one wired up, I am just going to lengthen it with their extension part.
Thanks, appreciate it. The included ring terminal cable is pretty short (18" I believe), is it long enough to connect to the battery and then pop the other end out of the cover to quickly connect/disconnect without opening the hood? Thinking I may need an extension or a longer ring terminal cable as well...

It's two feet pulled taut, and that's 3-4 inches too short of being to egress the cover - so I had to order the extension cable. 6 feet is the shortest they make.

Here are some photos of the "second nut" approach with a Battery Tender product.

You use m6 or m8 eyelets?
Is there really enough thread for this?

Its whatever eyelet comes with the Battery Tender product, I guess its an M6 eyelet since the post takes an M6x1.0 nut. If you get a thinner nut, there is enough thread to tighten.

I bought m6 eyelets as the m8 eyelets that came with the charger went on my sedan. The negative nut barely fit and took a couple of tries to thread it in. Hopefully it doesn't come off with vibration as time goes on.

You can always use the blue locktite. It'll keep the vibration worries away.
Also check the pitch of the nut, if it's different, it'll be harder to put on, but chances of cross threading are higher.

It's an M6 1.0 pitch. Takes a 10mm socket/wrench to tighten it.
