I need fast info...leaving tomorrow

Hi all,
Thanks for your help and information for the battery charger situation. Well, I bought a charger from Porsche...cost $75 so I didn't complain about that. And the red light is still on after 2 days, even though the battery is relatively new (1 year old), but my question is, how much electricity is required to keep the battery maintained? I plugged my charger into the landlord's outlet, and no where on the lease does it say that this is unacceptable...but still, how much of a jump in an electricity bill should be expected for charging the car for three weeks? Anyone online now or into tomorrow who could help me would really be appreciated! Thanks in advance =)

Hey Teacher, it took my car about 2-3 days before the red light went off. I was getting worried that it was not working.

I don't think your landlord will see any significant increase in the electric bill. Maybe a couple bucks per month. If so, offer to pay for it.

He's been around, at least his associate, he's more concerned with the lighting and door security, as I'm told, but I'll pay him the extra pesos, so far so good, I mean get real =)
