Put a battery tender on the battery with a quick disconnect. If you don't drive for many weeks you'll likely see a dead battery. 928's are known for their parasitic drain on the battery.

Default batt disconnect

The Harbor Freight and other cheap disconnects as in under $10 should be avoided. No warning, luckily I was in the garage when it decided to go, 2x. Automotion has them at $29 IIRC. I went back to OE.

I have also seen those big red switches at the back of the car behind the tool tray...that is probably the "cleanest" place to put it, also hidden so it would make the car more difficult to steal. That said three of my babies sit on battery tenders all the time. I have run the wires out the battery box under the car and hide the "pig tail" under the rear bumper cover. When needed I just reach up under there and pull it down and plug it in. SO EASY!
