Come on, Ger!
Relocate your emergency frunk release (forget the charging through the cig port) so you can always access the battery, and keep vital stuff (like wheel keys) in the passenger cabin.

This is noob stuff!

PW, what's the problem with maintaining through the lighter? Seems to work fine for me.

Slow.
Waaaay slow.

If your battery's dead and you need to get into the trunk, or worse, get to work, you probably won't have enough time to charge through the lighter. I've never tried it, but I bet it takes an hour or more?

Oh yes, I was thinking only about the effectiveness of using the lighter to maintain a good battery.
