Just used a cig lighter cable and got the frunk open. It wasn't enough to start it though and wire started getting warm. Off to buy a slow charger. Batt looks very clean but no date I could find. Guessing I take both wires off while charging overnight, right? Get the self monitoring Battery Tender one.

I think I will replace battery. This Duralast 48-DL looks clean but that model was discontinued in 2013! I know this car was driven very little last 4 years, so, might as well upgrade to new battery. Thanks gang!
