So in my limited time here, I'm sure you guys get the idea of how I pay attention to details. So with that said, I had to come up with a solution for a battery tender that would not be a hassle to use when not riding the bike. My solution was to buy a Harbor Freight $4.99 special battery tender on one of their sales days. This installation should apply to any scoot. If you have common sense, this should be a piece of cake and take no longer than an hour to do regardless of what battery tender you use.
I cut the hardwired power cord and installed a male/female jack. The parts are obtained at your local Radio Shack store. From there, I drilled the correct size hole for the female jack on the plastic fender at the back. The wiring from the charger/tender is neatly tucked under and into the storage compartment. Instead of using the included alligator clips for the battery, I soldered on "O" terminals after cutting the alligator clips off. The "O" terminals allow direct wired installation to the battery terminals. I also installed an on/off switch since the harbor freight tender has an LED that stays on when it's connected to the battery. I didn't want a battery drain, so this is what the switch prevents. It isolates the battery tender from the battery itself. Depending on the battery tender you get, this switch may not be necessary. You need to flip the switch on when you are charging.
So here it is in pictures....
