If you think your dealer is going to give you a free battery if you can show him surveillance tape evidence showing regular use of a Porsche battery maintainer, then by all means sleep better at night, if that's what it takes. I know that I replaced the battery in my Boxster for less than the price of one of these overpriced Porsche battery maintainers!
I sleep better at night knowing I don't waste money. Just my $40.00 worth.....of savings.
You should be okay, Tony, for up to two weeks, provided you don't leave a radar detector or other battery draining device plugged in.
