It needs to be plugged into the one on the inside of the passenger seat pedestal in order to charge the auxiliary battery.

You might want to add an additional US type lighter socket next to it.

Good luck,

Tim

I am about to buy a simple solar panel charger that plugs into a
cigarette lighter type socket. I will primarily use it in now in my 85
Westy Weekender which has the factory dual battery setup. The radio
runs off the starter battery, but I will be using the auxiliary battery
to run the laptop and other accessories we will use for camping and
astronomy. Many astronomy camp outs / star parties are away from plug
in power supplies, which a PO set up in my weekender.

Will the auxiliary battery charge if the unit is plugged into the
cigarette lighter or must I switch the solar unit to the plug under the
passenger seat to charge the auxiliary battery?
