Yes, just find a good place to route the cable between the door and seal. Easily done.

It's the XS3600. Got the cigarette lighter attachment too, which makes it easier to connect/disconnect quickly.

I have the same for the Tuscan, works a dream, best battery conditioner I have had. You can arm the alarm with it plugged in. I will install a socket at some point so I dont have the cable trapped in the door seal.

Nick,
My battery conditioner is hard wired to the battery, with the unit and the mains plug under the velcro'd compartment in the boot. So, I can, if I want to charge it outside with a mains extension in the boot and the car locked.

Nick, that is more or less what I had in mind. Did you run wires from the battery to the boot or pick up connections in the boot? If so which?

The wires from the conditioner were run over the N/S wheel arch, down behind the B-post trim and along the cill then through the GRP bulkhead to pick up the battery direct. Was done by the previous owner. Fairly 'meaty' leads to avoid any 'losses'.

Why go to all that bother when you can use the cigarette lighter socket? Just puzzled.

In my case, its a narrow garage and access via the door is difficult, I roll the car in and out. Boot would be so much easier.
