I use this one. Have one in all of my cars. It will hold its charge more than six months, but I have a scheduled recharge every six months for all of them. Take it out of the car and plug it in, or you can just plug it in to ciggy lighter for an hour to top it off, twice a year.
I've only had to use it to jump a dead battery once, and that was on my mom's car. Popped it on the battery with the little short-lead clamps and the little Mazda fired up like it was getting jumped-off by an F-250.
These clamps are a good bit smaller than regular jumper cable clamps and would easily work in the fuse box of the Porsche.
Looks great, but if you look at the kit it comes in to store the battery and the jumper cables, no way that is all fitting in the glove box or under the seat.
Anyway, nice to have a video from Nick to show us exactly how the connection is made to pop the front lid.

Make sure to read all the Amazon reviews before buying. It seems there are some quality and long-term use issues with some of the units. Also, there is no way to address issues after 30 days.
The unit is the size of a 1 inch thick iPhone plus. But it does come in a junior daytimer sized zip binder with several other accessories. I keep that under the driver seat, from the back. Along with a tire patch kit. But the necessary components would easily fit in the glove box. The battery would sit in the console box, but not the jumpers.
I actually bought this battery pack to charge my phone and iPad, but it comes with a set of jumper cables that would be perfect for the fuse panel in the Pcar. Very compact unit.
Enjoyable as always. I was on your Youtube channel over the weekend. Two things:
1. Becky is adorable.
2. I want a PDK T-shirt in Large please. I laughed out loud when I saw it.
PM me with details if you're making any to sell.
Yes I will be selling those and other T-shirts shortly.

My humble contribution:
#6 - should have bought a fun color .1 as it would have looked AND sounded better while costing the KIWI a lot less, therefore freeing up funds to purchase additional video equipment to be leveraged for more average quality productions.
The one I found most useful was the very technical explaination of the Thump Thump Thump sound. I have recently purchased my first 911 C2S and although I don't live in a "cold" climate, I do get the sound when exiting my driveway at a steep angle which requires lock on the wheels.... the sound scared the crap out of me and once you explained it, absolutely sounded like the wheel was catching..
