Thanks! So I need to buy which 3? These 3 in red? And I'm good to go? There are 4 listed here. (NOCO GC002or GC008 cable - which one would I need for my car?)


NOCO GC002 or GC008 cable to the battery posts and led the connector out to the cowl, next to the windshield wipers. Using a NOCO GC013 male-male and NOCO GC010 female cigarette adapter then enables connecting the ChargeOMat directly to the battery terminals without opening the trunk.

you need whichever model has the correct diameter eyelet holes to match the diameter of the battery posts in your car (gc002 or gc008 ) plus the other parts listed

Darnit, I have no idea. I'm just going to buy they both. I'm basically desperate to get it on a charger. I may not be able to drive it for like 2-3 months now.

If memory serves, I think the choice is between 6mm and 10mm diameters and - if recall correctly - the battery post terminals on my MY21 992tts are 6mm.

So many great suggestions. Mine is due for arrival this month (with RAS) and I’ll order a ctek Li charger from Amazon. As for the wire extension, can someone provide a link for whatever matches the ctek, or does this come with the charger? Thanks

I'm noticing one risky ommision in some of the direct to battery connections. There should be a properly sized fuse (Based on wire size and charger ampacity) very close to the + battery terminal and preferably right at the + battery terminal. If this is not done and the pemanent positive charger lead chafes (shorts) to ground while charging or when driving it will get ugly fast. As in fire and smoke ugly.
A fuse in the middle of the charger + lead or near the charger is not sufficient as any conductor between the fuse and the battery is unprotected.
A second fuse (based on charger requirements and wire size) on the charger end is also a good idea. This will protect the charger in the event of a short while charging.

For example: I am running a 5A NOCO Genius charger using 14AWG conductor. The fuses on both ends are 10A . 10A is greater than the rated charging current of the charger so there are no nusiance fuse trips. 10A is less than the 14AWG wires ampacity. This insures the wire will conduct greater than 10A in case of a short and blow the fuse quickly no matter where the fault (short) occurs.
I hope this helps someone to keep their car safe.
