Can either go via the fag lighter or can be wired in. I wondered whether to runa couple of semi-permanent wires from the battery, routed through to the rear deck.
Maybe wire up a jack connector or similar and sit the charger on there when the car's at home?
I had that idea too Rich.
I bought one of these from "Maplins" for £10 at the time.
It would be OK to keep a battery charged up.
One of my (many) jobs was to do as you describe, in fixing the solar charger to the (north facing) garage window fixing wires around the garage to the car then using a multiplug to connect to the D.
I was thinking of putting a multiplug with wires going to the engine block (earth) and jump start post (permanent battery+). Fused obviously and no scotchlocks ! :lol:
One of my "to do" jobs when I get a chance.
