Because the battery is a lousy place to connect... for starters its covered in acid and dirt, and looks ugly.

Theres a 20A B+, A+ and earth in the drivers kick panel, and the 100A B+ in the engine bay, why bother running an ugly wire to the battery that will be unreliable and unsafe*?


* few people who do these things do electrical work as well as OEM
