Battery Conditioner connection for 2006 V8 Vantage (U.S.)

[Falcon75]

I'm close to winter hibernation for my American delivered 2006 V8 Vantage. The garage is ready, the car is spotlessly clean, I've filled the fuel tank and topped it off with a gasoline stabilizer, and inflated the tires to 50psi. The car cover is ready for unfurling. I was getting ready to connect the never-before-used Aston Martin battery conditioner that came with the car and noted that its power "in" male plug is designed for the 12 volt receptacle in the tiny coin box on the center console. It looks just like the plug one would find on an American cell-phone charger and not the 3-pin variety depicted in the owner's manual. Even more strange is the fact that a close inspection of the right rear boot compartment reveals an absolutely empty hole directly underneath the battery disconnect switch. No label...nothing as far as I can see and stick my finger into. Absolutely nothing behind the hole to connect anything to. Nothing.

Has anyone on the forum seen something similar? I'm reasonably certain that small variations like this are not unusual even during the same model years and the car's battery won't know the difference regarding the source of the trickle charge, but I'm curious. Plugging the conditioner into the coin box socket seems to work fine.

Once again, I'm curious if anybody out there has the same car configuration as mine does.

The battery conditioner plug changed from a small unique 3-pin attachment to a more common 12v plug (and hence the rear plug also changed) around the end of the 06MY.

My surprise is occasioned by the fact that my car appears NOT to have the 12v socket in the small compartment at the right side of the boot. There is simply an empty hole underneath the battery disconnect button. I've looked and looked and probed as far as I can into the space and find no receptacle at all. Nor is there any kind of label. In short, it appears my only option is to use the coin box 12v socket for receiving the battery conditioner. Once again, I'm guessing the battery won't know the source of the trickle charge, but I was curious if anybody else had seen this configuration. Maybe somebody at the factory forgot to install a simple part years ago!

Mystery solved...I saw the 12v socket located higher in the boot compartment but was reluctant to use it without confirmation. The V8V is now safely "snoozing" for the winter with battery conditioner connected. Thanks for the responses.
