Hi all, on the Warwick Xl to jump start the vehicle you connect to a terminal and an earth point under the bonnet could i connect a small solar panel to these same points to charge the Vehicle battery. Kevin

With keys removed check voltage at cigar lighter. If 12v ish, then you could just plug it in there.
If not then yes..!

You can but only if its permanently live hence check volts with keys out. If 0v then it isn't and you can't

Unless it is a Sprinter base. One socket is permanently live, other is ignition controlled.
