My charger has clips and I want to trickle charge to the battery rather than to the cigar lighter. I know I can connect to the battery under the seat but is it possible to use the red thing under the bonnet for positive and to an earth point there instead. Seems easier !
Do be careful that if you shut the bonnet there's no chance of clips shorting out to the bonnet, or the wire getting chopped/chafed through a tight gap.
