I need a solar trickle charger for xkr 2013. Does it have "live feed" on cig lighter socket, and any suggestions about capacity and makes would be appreciated.

Welcome to the club, Terry.

My s type does not have the live feed on the power socket, and I connected my solar charger directly to the battery and plug it in etc as required.

I am not too satisfied with it, however, as it does not do a very good job.  The big battery needed for the 2.7 diesel requires more power than my solar charger would give it.

I would [and why I didn't think of it before] have a look around the caravan accessory dealers, as when I towed a caravan I always had to keep the 110 amp battery on charge, and I saw many solar chargers on caravan parks.

Regards,

Peter.
