Default Trickle charge on XK 120 OTS

Is there an easy way to attach a trickle charge to the 120 OTS? Hooking a charger to the batteries behind the seats is a nuisance and even charging at the starter isn't easy. Any suggestions?

Does the XK120 have the socket in the engine bay for a trouble light?
The Mk7 did have a socket where you could attach a trouble light.
I think it was "hot-wired" to the battery.
That would be a good place to attach a trickle charger.

I don't see any type of socket in the engine bay. I will probably search around the engine bay with a voltmeter until I find a live wire. Presumably, that will work. Thanks for the suggestion.
