I put an Odyssey Racing Red Battery in 10 years ago, I've replaced it once in the 10 years.

That's a great job x works have done Keith. Have you changed your pistonheads name Keith?

Many thanks,- I like this idea - a lot smile my Chim is parked under a car port (thank God) but it's very narrow and you can barely shoe horn yourself into the car to get in, let alone open the door enough to mess around with the battery, so I'll give it a go (after checking that the cigarette lighter is live even with ignition off).

By 'plug' I assume you mean the male connector to a car cigarette lighter, as was used by TomTom etc, back in the day...
Yes - these chappies even have connectors exposed, so you dont have to mess around butchering a mains plug. If your carport floor gets wet, I recommend placing them on a rubber mat or something similar as the clamps off your conditioner rust very quickly.
