Hello ALL.
Just to anybody interested, I have found you can get a socket that can be 
mounted
behind a little door cut into the side of the fuselage, this can be used for
Charging and External Starting.

Another way told to me was to use the cigar lighter socket as an input in 
reverse,
but the socket would have to be wired directly to the battery, not via the
Master Switch.

I have ended up purchasing a motor cycle external charging unit,
consists of Two eye piece connection leads, one - and one + with built in fuse,
these eyelets go onto the battery terminals,
A plastic moulded two pin connector with cover is at the other end wire, this 
just
pops out the floor in the rear of cockpit. 
I run a short removable connecting lead from this and let the other end dangle
out of the small air vent on the planes front Starboard  side.
With the plane all done up in its cockpit covers, I can just plug my little 
maintenance
charger into the plug.
It works well, a fully charged battery gives a faster spin over and prevents 
detonation.
Alan
