using battery maintainer on cayenne

I would like to use a battery maintainer on my '06 cayenne, however, judging from the owners manual it looks like major surgery just to get to the battery, any tips, advice, do's/dont's about this?

TIA

We replaced our battery when we first got our 05. I didn't personally do it but my guys are not full auto mechanics and said it was fairly easy. Therefore I don't think adding a lead for a maintainer shouldn be too hard.

Either this or get a Noco maintainer with the 12vdc male plug adapter and plug it into the dash if always active. This works for my 09 Cayman and MBZ.
