Ok to charge battery through cig lighter!

got 3 vehiches which only get used meybe once a month so batteries in them dont get full too often. Is it ok to fit a lighter plug onto automatic/maintenance charger to keep things good! Would move charger weekly to next car. All batteries are no maintence/sealed type.

Fine if the cigarette lighter sockets aren't isolated when the ignition is off.

As above but most cars turn it off when the ignition is off.

You could run some wires straight from the battery and put a connector somewhere convenient, like under the bumper or somewhere.

Yes this works ,, but the ignition has to be placed on accessorie.
