Seems like the "in between" option (drive it only couple of times in winter) is the worst. Looks like storing it will be the way to go.

In that case, I may have to remove the battery since there's no power (for the charger/maintainer) in the space where it's parked. Will this wreak havok with the electronics/alarm/etc systems when I put it back in?

NickCats, sorry for hijacking your thread. Thought this will be relevant to your inquiry and useful for many ahead of the winter.

Thx much
Z.
Z,

No problem on the hijack, but I am still looking for answers on my original question :

How long can the Boxster sit dormant without enough drain to the battery that I would have problems starting the car ?

Thx !
