If the battery mantainer pigtail is connected directly to the positive and negative battery connection cables, it's just like having a battery in the car once 12v is supplied to it (with the caveat that the wires are small and won't support a heavy amp load like starting the car), but for popping the hood release it works just like the battery is installed, it just happens to be physically outside the vehicle.
