Default How to CHARGE the battery?

This is such a useful forum that I thought I'd ask what may sound initially a stupid question. I'm curious as to what's an acceptable way to charge the battery?

1 - Can I do it from under the bonnet?

2 - Do I have to disconnect the battery and subsequently charge it from the boot area (or remove it completely)?

3 - Anyone had any experiences with a solar trickle charger, plugged into the auxiliary socket?

I'm concerned because I feel I may need to charge it regularly. If I'm parked, with the engine off, I've noticed that using the SatNav, or even just listening to the Radio/CD/MD I get 'Low Battery' warning messages. The only way to avoid these is to have the engine running - and I have a T6 so it's an expensive way to listen to a bit of entertainment for more than a few minutes!!!

thanks in advance
