They are not hot, and go dead when the 370Z is turned off. After reading this thread, and its responses, are you looking to leave the battery charger inside the 370Z?

I can leave the tender inside the car and run the AC plug through the window to the AC outlet. The "cigarette lighter" or actually 12 volt outlet adapter is much easier than hooking to battery terminals. That's why I was hoping to make it work through the 12 v outlet.

The cig lighter can only be used with a batteryminder if it is hot (active) while the car is off. From what others have said this might not work in a Z. There are however hooks that you can simply attach to the battery 1 time and they stay there permanently, you just hook the tender to them whenever you want to keep it charged. This is also extremely easy after the first time.
