Default trickle charger reg vs pro
Is it worth the extra $75 for the Pro? I can't really tell the difference from the website?

I have two battery tenders, one for my truck and one for my spyder since I don't drive either much. I should have got the 4 way so I could keep the mower on one too....

Sorry should have specified I was referring to the OEM Porsche chargers through the cigarette lighter

Buy a CTEK, they make the charger for Porsche.

This the one I use, can be adjusted for cold weather, can use on all car battery types and has a supply mode if the battery is being removed.

Amazon.com: CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Battery Charger: Automotive Amazon.com: CTEK (56-353) MULTI US 7002 12-Volt Battery Charger: Automotive

Yeah,


I know... Battery tender makes a lighter attachment that I use on my spyder.


Why you need an overpriced unit that says Porsche on it, I have no idea.

True... Guess I don't need the Porsche Tax if I have other/better options...

Agree. Just ordered the CTEK MUS 4.3 from Amazon along with the cigarette plug adapter. Total for both $75.
