Default Battery tender

I just purchased 2011 997 TTS and battery tender came with car.

Where do I hook up the battery tender at? Sorry for the stupid question due to this is my 1st Porsche.

Thanks

With a battery tender, depending on what model you have, you either hook it up on the battery, or plug it into the cigarette lighter.

The battery on the 997's is located in the trunk, in the middle section next to the windshield wipers, you must remove the plastic piece to access it.


Congrats on the TTS!

Look in the RL classified. There was a brand new Porsche version for sale 2 days ago. (although the CTEK brand and the Porsche, MB, BMW, etc. all look exactly the same to me...probably all made by the same manufacturer...)

I use a CTEK MXS 5.0, and have the connector cable permanently attached to the battery, and the cable fed through from the frunk to allow connection near the windscreen wipers. Works well.

There is also a DC connector in your center console storage area...At least on my 07 there is..My connector on my Porsche tender seems to "seat" better in that one than the cigarette lighter.
