Trickle Charger Recommendations?

[Keith Newby]

I second the battery tender Jr...0.75amps works well on the Porche installed Optima battery and the flooded batteries in bothe my Ducati and Triumph.

I know we are a ways from putting the boxters in hibernation, but this will be my first winter. If i put a battery tender on the battery, should you take the cables off the battery or just leave them on and turn the key off?

Most people leave it connected. The cigarette lighter tenders require it, obviously. It uses less energy to disconnect it.

I've used the CTEK battery maintainer for the past three winters and it's worked great. I don't disconnect the battery and I use the cigarette lighter adapter. Makes for quick getaways when a nice day comes by. I bought the CTEK with "Porsche" on the front so I paid too much.

You can buy the simple Porsche battery maintainer from Sunset for $47. I have 2 for the toys.

Thanks to all for the responses. Just place my order for a battery maintainer today.

Happy driving!
