solar charger hook-up

[Ed Kellock]

I have a similar question due to a similar self-treat....

This is for the urq however... I don't think the cigarette lighter will work
unless the ignition is on, so I figured the charging function won't work
either.  

I surmise that I might have to do a bit of "custom" wiring but haven't
pursued it further due to the weather (simpleton trial-and-error testing).

I treated myself to a solar battery charger, for the 200 Avant that doesn't
get used much.
<http://www.amazon.com/BEST-2-22-Watt-Solar-Panel/dp/B002Z07IJO/ref=sr_1_1>

The panel came with bare leads.  No problem, I'll just attach a cigarette
lighter plug to it. But... my electrical knowledge is challenged.

Do I attach the positive + output of the solar panel to the positive +
center electrode of the the lighter plug? Or should the + feed the negative
- side of the plug, to keep the electrons flowing from + to -?

It seems like a simple question, but it has me flummoxed.
