Yes , it takes about 90 seconds to disconnect. I give you that one.
the car is in my home garage(Attached to my house)...so its as secure as it can get (considering my handy shot gun nearby)
The doors are left unlocked AND the frunk is left halfway open ( a piece of cloth will prevent it from closing all the way...) .

It just may keep you out of jail, in the unfortunate event that you decide to shoot somebody because they tried stealing your Porsche!

Call the cops and try a citizen's arrest but do not discharge unless you're out of options.
It's only a car, not a loved one.

My type of guy. Shot first than ask questions later. That aside. I would be worried about the DME lithium battery dieing. Loosing the basic programing would have me worried.

Why should you even use a battery maintainer/ trickle charger ?????? I have been disconnecting the + cable from my battery every winter for MANY years and reconnect when I am ready to drive again, no problems what so ever......why mess around with all these unnecessary stuff ?
Maybe I am missing something.....Appreciate any comments.

That is what I have done with my other porsches and my recent 991 for many years and never had to reset or lost anything and never went to dealer for any issues related to this practice....
Bemo, when you live in the country it takes the police a lot longer to get to the scene than when you live in the city, in my case about 20 minutes or so.

OK I recently purchased a Porsche trickle charger (looks identical to many of those shown in this thread).
I have the following problem - (1) I plug the charger into the 12V connector in the footwell -(2) I plug the charger into the wall mains outlet socket (3) click the mode button until the standard "car" (not Lion, not motorcycle) led is lit. (4) wait and the top row of LEDS becomes active and the yellow light is "on" the three quarters charged battery. All well and good
After half an hour or so all lights go off and the green "on" light flashes - basically it doesn't seem to get to the full battery/ maintenance part of the cycle.
Any thoughts, anyone had a similar issue?

Storm rune - thanks for this - I was aware the sockets closed off after 30mins - I assumed this wouldn't be the case when charging. Looks like I'll go and get the adaptor.

Randr: Just a brief follow-up. Are you sure you don't have an outlet inside the console at the back? I could see it might be easy to miss. I don't have the smoker's package, so I don't know why my car would have it and others wouldn't. Just wondering. I know when I use that one, the status lights on my CTEK 3300 behave just like they should, but when I use the footwell one I get quick-flashing error status reports after a while.
