A few years ago, I used the CTEK MUS4.3 56-864 (now discontinued?) with the cigarette plug. Worked well on my 2018 718 Cayman GTS.

Any issues using this on the 2024 992 C2S? Expecting to get an AGM battery.

Just as an FYI, when I took my car in for service in November they did a software update, and since I have not had an issue with the footwell staying live. Plug in charger to wall,turn car to accessory with key on you, plug in charger to footwell, turn off car. Been going strong for weeks now.

for lithium ... CTEK is it ... use the battery + and frame negative .... cigarette connection also works great, and slightly more idiot proof :-)

AGM any good quality battery tender ... same hookup.

I will also add that it does get tedious reading the same question over and over.... so search function is good ... but I was that guy 6 months ago ... so..... welcome to the fraternity !

I use this one and the larger one.

Schumacher SP1297 Fully Automatic Battery Charger, Maintainer, and Auto Desulfator. It does my motorcycles, cars and I use lipo and lead acid-AGM. I’ve used the cheaper ones and just bought the one I trust.

I’ve been using this Harley Davidson NOCO branded maintainer. It has a lithium option and I use it all the time not occasionally while the car sits

I've used a Nono Genius on a couple of cars, no complaints.
