This does not appear to be good. Is the charger warm or hot? Is it a Porsche battery maintainer?

May not be relevant but my Schumacher maintainer/charger was in charging mode (amber light) for 5-6 hours before it switched to maintaning mode (green light). It's a 1.5 Amp charger and the battery had been sitting unhooked (and out of the car) for three weeks before being connected to the charger.

My car sat for 2 weeks while I was on vacation.

I hooked up the charger when I got back. It took 3 days for the light to turn off.

let me understand, your car was on it's own to 2 weeks before the recharge, and that didn't impact your battery

Yet is is a Porsche battery maintainer. It's warm, but it's not hot. Do you
think the maintainer is defective?? The battery itself is only a year old and I've
never had a problem with it.

Give another day or two. Try it on your daily driver, and see if the red light goes off after several hours, as a test. Just a thought.
