i did some searching and found lots of info on maintainers, but no clear info on why.

so

can someone give me a couple of short answers to a couple of questions?

1a, how long (new fully charged battery) can i park a boxster before the voltage drops too low?

1b, WHY? i have owned cars,trucks,boats. bikes you simply pull the battery at the end of season, charge it and put it under the bench till next season. no tender needed.

2 a,does any body know what the actual amp draw is while sitting?
2b, again WHY? this is supposed to be a quality vehicle, even lada's didn't come with or require battery tenders.

3 if i put a new battery in my boxster and drive it every weekend will i need a battery maintainer?

thanks in advance.
