Have any of you attempted to install a 12v Female socket in the boot?

Comes useful for adding any accessories in the boot or as a backup socket.

Connecting directly to the 12v Battery with an inline fused 10 amp positive cable should be a safe option? The socket will be permanent live, if nothing is plugged in shouldn't draw any power from the Battery is my thinking. 

If I need the socket to be switched so it only comes on when the ignition is on think I will need to extend a cable from the 12v new socket to the fuse box front passenger side tapping into a switched fuse i.e 12v power socket.

Any thoughts pls?

No, but I've fitted a ctek quick plug and hooked up several amps and a remote Battery monitor and GPS tracker...

Update installed 12v socket arrived today 15 min job at the most.

Socket is Hardwired to the Battery

The most difficult part was making a hole to insert the 12v socket into the Battery compartment cover. 

Spare socket now live  can monitor the 12v Battery voltage if it drops below 12v will trickle charge it.
