Do it right - use Hammerite
When the blue light is flashing I am kidding.

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationIf you have systems that need current why not get a battery eliminator/keeper gizmo like this.

I've used that sort of thing on some of my motors, at the very least it saves having to reset radios or whatever.

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

Presumably you can't just connect it to a charger where it is?
Mine has an Optimate connector (fused) that dangles out of the bonnet shut line by the hinge, and has a conditioner connected as I type, currently the voltage is 13.78, been on since I got home from Work at about 7pm last night.
Not too bad as there are 2 extensions between the conditioner (in the shed) and the car (on the drive).
I just have to disconnect the plug, roll up the lead and hide it in a bush by the front door when I drive off.
