Default Battery saving standby?!?!

Going to leave my 991 in the driveway for 2 weeks. Not possible to use trickle charger... I understand 2 weeks should be ok if the battery is good. However, any advice please about anything could be done to minimize battery drain - for example is there a battery saving mode that I could activate myself?

Thank you

A

Just keep it locked. Use your battery maintainer for a couple of days before it goes to the driveway, and again after you can get it back into your garage.

I use a solar charger for my cars when I can't use a trickle charger. Oops, just noticed you live in a place without sunshine. Never mind.

I currently have my 2013 911-50 in storage with no access for trickle charger or solar charging options. I leave it locked and have no trouble with the battery going flat for up to 3 weeks between drives. I just take the car for a good half an hour drive every 2-3 weeks and have never had to externally charge the battery.
