An easy way would be to put a multimeter across the starter battery while on hookup. If it’s above 13.5ish volts after ignition being left off for a few hours, then it is charging. An alternative would be a cheap cigarette plug that shows volts off eBay if you don’t have a multimeter.
If it doesn’t charge, you can install a battery master or similar to give it some charge and keep it in good condition. About £70 to buy and very easy to fit.

Many thanks for the info, I’ve decided to go the 12v outlet plug in route. Thanks again.Hi, that entirely depends on the system Rimor install.
