986 Battery Drain

[10/10ths]

….remember that these cars go into a “Deep Sleep” mode after being parked and locked for three days.

When in this mode, you must insert the key into the door to open and then stick the key into the ignition and turn it to accessory mode to disable the alarm.

My 98 Boxster doesn't do that exactly...When locked for its winter storage, I do need the key to unlock the doors...BUT I'm not required to put the key in the accessory position, or for that matter I don't need to do anything ....no NO ALARM SOUNDS. (yes, my alarm works)

Typically, I just unlock with the key, start the car and drive off.
