They do an indicator panel with a longer lead to mount on a grill or similar. I must add, I have no personal interest in CTEK and other chargers are available.
To other members, each to their own, if someone wants to rely on the vehicle's electronics to say when the battery needs charge, that is their choice. A member asked a question and I did my best to give an answer.

In which case I'm glad I didn't buy an expensive CTEK charger and instead bought a much cheaper Hyundai smart charger that has the same capabilities plus long enough cables to fit either my V60 our our Sportage, both of which require the negative lead to be mounted on the engine.
Volvo owners seem absolutely obsessed by battery charging!
