Abstract
A battery charging kit for an automotive vehicle includes a charging cable, a mounting bracket attached to a structure within an interior of the vehicle, and a carry bag for containing the cable. The bag has first and second flexible/foldable side walls and stiffeners extend along opposite upper edges of the sidewalls to define an upper opening. Carry handles are attached to the stiffeners. The stiffeners includes engagement features removably attachable to the mounting bracket to retain the carry bag such that the side walls hang downwardly and the upper opening is open, the opening being sufficiently large to receive a battery charging cable. Multiple mounting brackets may be provided at different locations in the passenger compartment and/or cargo compartment and/or trunk so that the vehicle operator can select from among them.
