Mine does not have the smoker's package. I plug the bat maintainer in the in the passenger footwell socket. It works very well.

Hope you didn't drive your Porsche with C-Tek dangling on the street!

i'm in the footwell socket as well! plug into receptacle and then connect and you're off to the races.

i have the CTEK 93-56-864 MUS 4.3 Black 12V Battery Charger

Yup. This is how I do it, not through the fuse box, or the cig. lighter socket. Remove plastic panel under hood, red to red on battery, black to grounding point on the far right.

I had to put the cable quite high through the side glass of the door, as anywhere lower down the window would really squeeze the cable.

Bit of a fiddle, but it works ok.

why not place on doorsill and close door - i've done it without any issue- just a thought.

Not tried that, will it move freely(-ish) when put there? It sure would make my life easier ...

So a question tough to answer. How long does it take to charge the battery? I have the BatteryTender brand. One lead goes directly to the batt on my 67 Shelby 350. Ran with it for a few hours came home, hooled it up, light goes out in about 6 hours. Trickle charge mode. Ran the GT3, about 4 hours, came home hooked it up THRU the passenger footwell. Still charging 10 hours later. Is it possible that going thru the entire electrical system vs direct to the batt that it takes longer to fully charge? Whats your experiences?

I also have battery tender. 8-12 hours sounds about right and I connect through the center console.

Faster that way?

Not sure on an answer to this. Battery fully charged, hook up CTEK, leave it for 60 days, Full charge on return.

Whats a CTEK?

promocop

OK, i see it another brand of tender

Porsche_nuts

I never hooked it up directly to battery so don't know if it would be faster that way.

promocop

I meant faster thru the cig socket
