Recommendation for a trickle charger
I'm having shoulder replacement surgery next month and since my Carrera is a manual, I won't be able to drive it for about 2 months. I've never needed a battery charger as it's my daily driver.
I'm assuming that I will need to connect my car to a charger if its going to sit for that long unused. Any recommendations?

Get well soon!
You don't need one for two months. If you want to buy one: buy Porsche's or the C-Tek.

Sounds like you are having rotator cuff surgery. I just recovered from that and couldn't drive either of my manual Porsches according to the Doc. I did anyway. Shifted with my left hand or had my wife or son shift for me. The manual is fantastic physical therapy though.
I have the CTEk 3300. It works great.

not rotator cuff repair - shoulder replacement. I'm told that it's an easier rehab than a rotator repair. Anyway, I'm hoping to cheat and drive my manual in less than 2 months. I like the left handed shifting idea!!

I use CTEK MUS 4.3. With my 997 which was a DD and occasional use of CTEK the battery lasted 7 years and survived a alternator cable replacement (a well known issue with 997 cars).
