Ctek plug for charging while bonnet down

What is the plug that can be fitted to enable charging with a Ctek charger while the bonnet is still down.

DT gave me a tip, I now have a comfort indicator cable that leads from the battery, up through the top of the bonnet, just sticking out near the windscreen. I just plug in the charger extension and hey presto Thumbs Up

The cable, runs over the bonnet as well, so cuts down on driving away without unplugging issues Rolling Eyes

Now slightly off topic.......As it's now so easy to plug it in, I tend to pop it on charge nightly - is this likely to cause any problems?

Cheers
