I clip on to the positive battery lead, with the ground clipped to the engine. The clips are fussy on mine as I have regular metric hex bolts.

FWIW, I've run an 800mA
Battery Tender unit since 2002, replacing it once after it was zapped by a surge during a thunderstorm. I added another 800mA tender 9 years ago and it hasn't failed yet. And, I acquired a dual output unit (used) and so far it still runs: Like a TIMEX watch, they "take a lickin' and keep on tickin'"!
I don't know if the BT (brand) units are mil-spec or not, but rugged the ones I've been using (the 800mA BTs) have proven to be - at least at my "ranch".
