My bike is kept at the back of the house under a bike cover so I can’t use an optimate or battery conditioner.

Can use my 12v trickle car charger to charge the battery off of my M600?

Should be OK as long as it's trickle charging not giving it a multi-amp boost

Mines kept outside under a cover and I use one of these

they are weather proof. I currently use an extension lead, but i am looking into armoured cable and an outside socket.

I fixed one of these up on the roof of our shooting club hut to keep the batteries charged up for the traps. Seems to work fine. Have a search around the site as they do others too. You can buy the plugs for the optimate separately so you could probably wire up something to allow you to just plug in real quick.

trickle charge at less than 2 amp is fine.
