You'll find it flopping around loose on the left side engine harness. It may be just behind the harness but it looks like a regular port found on a car.

Thanks very much for the speedy reply!

You're wecome.
I work part time at a Mahindra dealership. It is one of my pet peeves for Mahindra in that their cost saving notions kind of go the way of Fred Flintstone methodology at times.
The port should be mounted properly on a fixed platform. Yeah it costs extra to do so but if we now exist in an electronics/digital world, I think it's money well spent.

Besides another great thanks another problem arose this afternoon. The positive terminal connection has now completely rusted through. I’ve checked all the internet culprits but having a problem marching the original post setup. Any help would of course be greatly appreciated!

Yes, that happens to these as well. Poor battery terminal seal from Mahindra using cheap batteries. Seal the bottom of the battery terminals with a spray designed for that and use those felt corrosion resistors you get from the auto stores.
I'll check on part no. tomorrow.
You are talking about the cable connector part correct? 1-gauge-awg-battery-cable-with-ends
Looks like this? pobacafor25m1.html
You can just replace the connector itself with any connector.

I just replaced mine with a universal terminal from an auto store.
I smeared dielectric grease all over it as well
You might consider adding a quick connect while there for a battery tender.

Thanks, no it’s the actual battery post connection that excepts all the positive wiring onto the battery.

Thanks the connector post on the positive side has completely rusted away. So I’m trying in my naive way to find a connector that accepts all the positive wiring there’s 6-7 that needs to be on the clamp! Excuse the poor description. I sent a pic to the other very helpful member.
Thank you.

Here’s a better pic of the rusted battery clamp/connector.

All you need is any clamp style battery terminal.
