There are places where you could connect a charger, but the risk of shorting against something is quite significant.

I'd recommend buying a charger with a cigarette lighter plug, and charge through the cigarette lighter. That's what I do with my Accumate.

I've fitted a fused flying lead with baby Andersen connectors under the centre console on the Griff. Takes about 5 seconds to find it and have the car safely on permanent trickle

+1 for the Accumate with cigar lighter plug option. It's a doddle to use so there is no disincentive to doing it every time you park up. You can fit your own plug to the Accumate lead as their option is a bit over priced for what it is.

I don't think they will recharge a totally flat battery though.
