Sorry, age old question i know but.. the more i look the more i'm getting confused as to what i need.confused

I just want to keep the battery maintained whilst my Chimaera 450 is in the garage, and i want to use the cigarette lighter socket.

Looked online, finding Optimate or Accumate, but cannot see a ciggie connector...?
Am i missing something? Anyone..?

This will be money well spent. (I bought mine from GreenReaper so can recommend them).
Due to circumstances about 18 months ago mine was getting little use. I was having to take it out on a Sunday evening just to give it a run and put some charge back in the battery. Had a few starting issues but since buying the Accumate everything has been fine (although it does get used a lot more again now).
If you battery is a bit discharged don't be surprised if it takes a few days for the green light to come on.
