You need to charge it through the 12v (cigarette lighter) socket.

I got a lead from Halfords especially for this. There is a 12v lighter plug on each end, so plug one into the Boxster socket, and one into the socket of another car, which should have the engine running. Give it some time, and then start the engine on your Boxster, and let the alternator do it's job.

Cheers
