If the charging current will be low, you might convert the charger leads to
a plug, which fits into the cigarette lighter. I intent to make such a tool,
in order to keep my batteries charged in winter time. This is an easy
method.
Dont' forget while charging quite some gas "boils" out of the battery.
If the battery top filling screws remain tight, this can lead to unwanted
high pressure in the battery.

Dave,
If your batteries are hooked up the same as those on my 72 B, about the only
other place you could hook up a charger would be on the starter terminal
that connects directly to the battery (Pos). The negative could be hooked
to the frame or engine. That's not much easier than removing the cover
with the top up, but might be easier with the top down (which it should be
anyway).
