trickle charge battery via cigar lighter?

[baconsarney]

Is this feasible? I have a ctek charger for my other p&j just wondering if you can trickle charge the battery via the lighter? I've also got an under bonnet andersen connector which has been used often if she's been left standing for a while but the leads are heavy duty jump lead stylee things...

TIA

Yes it's feasible providing the lighter is always connected (i.e. the lighter works without the ignition being on). Lots of people keep their TVRs plugged in this way.

Yes, that's where I keep my Optimate plugged in - came with a cigar lighter adaptor.

I have a ctek charger and this is how I connect mine. Have been doing it this way for years, works perfectly.

Yes - I have used this technique on both my Chimaera and Tuscan. It is so much more convenient than faffing around with the Anderson connector.

15 years and counting its fine providing you dont TTP with amperage input i.e floating/trickle chargers are fine
