You can, but as I have discovered, if you lose power then you need to reset it, whereas if it's connected to the battery it resets itself with no human intervention.
That is annoying!
Thanks for the tip on the smoker's package outlet working too!

I have not tried the smoker's package connection.I can definitely state that the passenger footwell does not work. See the associated nearby thread I started yesterday. I just went to battery (pos) and negative post setup this morning. Not difficult at all and certainly worth the two minutes it takes for prolonged downtime.

Not doubting you; This is what I did for the last year and a half. However, this month was the first time ever I hadn't driven the car for greater than 4 weeks and the footwell failed me. Everything on the charger looked OK - indicated fully charged - but I got all the warnings after driving less than a mile. In any event, hooking to the battery and negative post is so simple that I will do this going forward to eliminate any doubt.
From F90 Forum. Now that's a nice installation for the connector and has LED's. This was for the Li-Ion version of the CTEC which I might get also for my M5.

Quick question - do you lock the car after hooking up the charger? Seems to be some back and forth on that as well. Some folks say by locking the car, that plug will stay "hot" and not time out.
I've got to say for something that really should be pretty easy, there is a lot of disagreement on how to connect the charger. I've just gone through five pages of Google searches on the subject and am still confused!
My Cayman S is scheduled for delivery in mid-March, and I would like to have my CTEK charger and whatever accessories needed before bringing it home.
On my Macan you have to lock the car for CTEK to work. Once power goes out you need to reset the CTEK and unlock and relock the car. If it is connected to the battery you don't need to reset.

But what do you do on your 718?
Macan has a different PCM. Just like 992 charging procedure different still.
