With the less than easy access location of the battery, has anyone tried jumping a dead battery, or using a battery tender that plugs into the accessories (cig lighter) jack located in the accessories box??
Porsche cars have a similar issue that the electric bonnet (hood) won't open when the battery is dead. When I had this issue I use a neat special jumper cable that worked by jumping 2 cars between the accessories jacks. It took a long time to fully charge from dead, but I mostly used it to get enough juice to open the hood for a proper jump between 2 car batteries.
Porsche sells factory battery tenders that work from the same accessories jack as well.
Has any one tried either of these methods with the FJR??
