A good thought...I had been a little concerned about clamps popping off (esp the positive one).
I pulled out the bag of accessories that came with the Ctek to check. Does not have a lighter/power socket plug, but it does have this:
I can attach the red one under the nut that the red clamp is attached to in my first pic. The neg one I could probably slip over the threaded portion of the bolt over there at the top of the strut and throw another nut onto the exposed threads to hold it on.
Thanks for the suggestion
