Is the Porsche unit worth the 4-5x cost?

Not the one I bought.
Porsche's unit is almost certainly a rebranded unit that would be available for less if you find it with the manufacturer's own name on it.

I believe that the Porsche branded charger is a Ctek. I've been using one for several years and it works fine. I charge through the cigarette lighter.

I have a schumacher tender pro-

-Charges from the cigarette lighter, works flawlessly

I think it was about 35.00 5 years ago, I like that it shows the %charged, and the lights indicate state of use.
