Title: Bat Flattery - infrequently driven

Can I trickle charge via the cigarette lighter (is it always on) or do I need to re-wire it?

No you cant charge the battery via the power outlet/cigarette lighter...power out - not in.

In your situation I would use maintenance charger, CTEK are highly recommended  :link: CTEK MXS 5.0 (12V 5A) Battery Charger MXS5.0 | eBay (https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/CTEK-MXS-5-0-12V-5A-Battery-Charger-MXS5-0/163159009160?hash=item25fd08e788:g:5SEAAOSwz1peTYsO&frcectupt=true)

I use their Lithium model if I'm away for long periods :)
