Burning Brakes
The 991 can go a long time parked if it is locked. The system goes to sleep and can easily be parked for well over a month. Check with your dealer. Don't compare with BMW. They are now being sold with a battery tender already installed.

7 days if the car is in 70 degree temperatures. 3 days if in below freezing temperatures.
I just wrote about this here because this is a subject I know a LOT about.

Not to highjack the thread, but I've seen this same statement more than once. I sold my '07 BMW R1200RT last fall, with only 13,000 miles on it, because I was no longer using it enough to justify owning it. When I first got it, I got a gel-cell Battery Tender for it that I kept on it whenever I wasn't riding it. The day I sold it, it still had the original battery in it and it still started like brand new. You did know that many BMWs have gel-cell batteries, right?
