CTEK sells adaptors for cigar lighters , too
I like that solution because I don't have to access the batteries, I can choose between board and service batterie and the charger is inside ...

I don't know about pree puma defenders but the puma cigarette lighter is not permanently live so requires the ignition to be on to charge! Unless you feed a permanent like to the socket its a non starter for me.

As LRA + nitram17 say... 'we' are sure that your Puma Julie will not have a permanent live standard cigarette lighter (or cigar... ) picking up on the rear permanent live and installing an additional socket/s could be the way to go...

2. I would also consider buying a CTEK Indicator Panel and wiring it up to the Battery Terminals and mounting the Connector 'receiver' somewhere 'logical', involves some hole cutting under or around the seat or with luck / adaption you could get this up to and within the Cubby Box. The Indicator Panel also has a simple traffic light battery status display.



for CTEK (mines been faultless), good luck with yours.
