These cars were designed with a battery maintainer (not a trickle charger) in mind; and in particular, the car is set up so you can connect the maintainer by plugging it into the cig lighter socket and running the cord out through a slot left in the weather stripping near the front edge of the door. This way, the car can be left locked and alarmed while the battery is being maintained.
