Plumbing in a solar charger
Discussion
I've just taken delivery of a sloar charger to ensure the battery is always in tip top condition. I did wonder about plumbing it in to the car permenantly, leaving it on the back shelf (in the dip) runnign the wires down to where the fuse box is. Is this a good or bad idea?
Where should I wire it into? Is is as simple as finding a fise whcih has power even when the car is switched off and sticking it in there?

DON'T SHOUT!
I use the car nearly every day, sometimes after it has been left for a few days (like over christmas when I was pissed for a week) in the winter it does not start very well. I ordered the charger to leave in the car to ensure that it remained topped up at all times as using a mains charger is a pain in the arse.
I bet I drive mine more than you drive yours(nah, nah)
I use a solar battery top up too... and don't have the luxury of using the car everyday! On mine, the instructions said to disconnect the charger when starting the car as this could damage to the charger and wiring. I guess any autoelectrician will be able to point you in the right direction and may get around this with some sort of controller.

I use mine every day for work driving from Kent to London with no probs. (Apart from M20 stone chips)I would say that your battery is on the way out as I leave mine for up to two weeks when on holiday and the battery always has life in it.
I have a charger that I use on my stag which is a car that I do not use that often. This is a mains one however.
