From the manual - nixed the idea of a solar trickle charger into the 12v outlet.
"Do not plug in any device that
supplies power to the vehicle through the
power points. This could result in damage
to vehicle systems. "
But it makes me wonder where the outlets are getting their power if not directly from the battery - through the BMS? Is that what can be damaged?
They do say not to jump using the negative battery terminal with the BMS on it, but to connect downstream of it.
On the left the blue circle shows a lug that is downstream of the BMS sensor. You can connect your negative clamp here.
On the right, pull back the red plastic cover and connect your positive clamp to point circled in blue. Do not connect to the points with a red X.
