Problems with my battery maintainer
I have a Griot's battery maintainer which works well on my other three cars, but when I try to hook it up to the turbo's battery, the "Charging" light will not come on.
I put the positive end of the maintainer to the positive pole of the battery and the negative end to the battery bracket (not to the battery itself). Is there a different place you guys use to connect the negative caliper?

So I was using a black and decker battery trickle charger, but it broke.
S o I"m going to buy a new one, I wanted to know what youre guys experience has been with either the Porshce OEM Charge0Mat II (the new one) or the CTEK 7000 that I've seen posted. Specifically, I want to know if either of these actually will (slowly) charge a battery.
Thanks,
A

I had the Porsche maintainer fail so I went down to Sears and bought their maintainer. It was about half the price and has worked for years without a problem. It comes with either a cigarette lighter fitting or with clamps for the battery terminals.
