I've been searching the forums for trickle charger info and I've got one on the way. Here's the question, though: If I'm only driving the car once or twice/weekly for now, should I use it or wait until I drive even less frequently?

thanks--

I would use mine whenever it was at least a week of non driving. Just got rid of the car and had no battery issue for the 4 years I owned the car.

if youre driving a distance of say 20miles, at speed I dont think you need it.

Driving the car once a week should keep the battery serviceable.

Less than once a week and you should consider keeping a charger on it.

I use once/month on stored cars.

No problems as long as you don't keep touching door handles and 'waking up' the electrical system.

I use the Porsche Battery Maintainers on my cars at all times. If it ain't being driven, it's plugged in. So easy to do.

You lost me at "if it ain't being driven."

My two cents: not sure what you mean by "trickle charger." Make sure you are talking a quality battery maintainer preferably with the CTEK or Porsche logo. Since my car is not a daily driver I plug mine in every time I park it.

I plug it in every time I park it even for a only day or two also

LOL! Well, I can only drive one Porsche at a time.

I usually only get to drive on nice sunny weekends. But, I'll easily do 300-400 miles in one drive, at least 3 times per month. When I park in the garage, it gets plugged right in. And even after a +300 mile drive, the maintainer goes righ into action, and does a little charging for about an hour.

They are also plugged in for the entire winter hibernation process.
