Is there a nice neat way to install a BatteryMINDer or any other brand of Ring Terminal pigtail on a GM side-post battery and make it look good? I did pick up some side terminal bolts that have a nut for the ring terminals but they need a 9/16" and 5/8" wrench and stick out a lot. My cars do not have an auxiliary terminal block I can tap into.

What kind of car do you have that doesn't have any positive power points that you can access under the hood? Virtually every car made in the past 20 years has a main power stud (if not multiple ones), which sometimes are inside of an underhood fusebox.

You could install your own intermediate terminal block between the battery and the starter. Or you could even connect direct from the starter solenoid.
