I keep both my cars charged up with my motorcycle optimate tender, pluged into the cigarette lighter / accessory socket.
It works perfectly, I just made up a lead to fit.

I just change it onto another vehicle every time I go into the garage.

The factory supplied a separate lead with a cigarette lighter plug so it must be available as an option. The trickle charger itself came with leads fitted with alligator clips and terminals for directly connecting to a battery.

If you wire it in directly to the battery please remember to add a fuse.

I keep my CTEk permanently plugged in and in our very cold (sometimes) winters it is superb.
