I think F251 or F273 might be a candidate. That should be the cigarette lighter/12V connector as far as I know.
But as I'm not a car/electronics expert, I don't know what connecting something additional to that line might cause in terms of issues. I do know from RC experience that batteries is not somthing to mess with.
I'd rather have you go to an official dealer asking them for advice, maybe even let them connect it for you.
On a side note (why I don't mess with batteries):
Read up on LiPo and LiFePo batteries and fire hazards also please.
I personally wil never ever let my RC LiPo batteries charge unattented or store them outside the battery vault. I've had one LiPo battery swell/pop and had to make it safe by purposely igniting it, putting a stake through it. These are fires you can't extinguish.
This is also the reason I chose to hardwire my dashcam.
I even refuse to put my car inside my garage because of it being a hybrid one. I'd rather have a roof then a car...
