 I have fitted my towbar and wiring and had it programmed by Citroen.
I have sleep apnea and need more battery power to use my cpap machine
at night . I have a split charge relay kit , which simply connects the 2 battery positive together , but the power lead to operate the relay needs
an ignition fed source ,I was thinking of the rear cigarette lighter .
Any advice would be most welcome .

 Which version and age Picasso do you have? The early ones had a permanently live socket, so it is easily possible to flatten the battery; later ones the socket is ignition controlled.

 Rear power socket in a 2011 car is ignition fed.
