I maintain my battery with a Ctek MXS 5 charger via a quick-disconnect harness permanently on the battery, without disconnecting the battery itself, and have been doing this for at least 2 years without problems. Usually I set the charger to 800 mA, but may use 5 A if in a hurry. So you should be OK doing what you say. If still unsure, try asking a Porsche service centre?

This must be an RoW thing; in North America, all year Boxsters can use the lighter socket.
