Hi guys, Quick question to those that know way more than me. I was attaching a Bluetti charger 1 yesterday to help on an upcoming camping trip with my son to charge the power bank I bring with me. When attaching the battery connections (Big thanks to Doc Rok for the advice on letting the truck sit for 30 mins) I found a screw to get the positive attached just fine. On the negative side I found nothing. There was a steel tab though so I attached the device using electrical tape. Everything is working fine but I want to make sure this isn't about to cause a big issue due to current....
 
Only the positive terminal has the cover.

There is a negative on the battery but remember other parts of the car can act as an earth as well.

It is fine to do what you did. I have done it in the past.
