Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Our car isn't frequently used so being able to check the battery condition from outside the car to see if it needs a top up charge would be useful.

I use trackers from TruTrak for my cars, either connected directly to the battery, or plugged into the ODB port.

Suggestion
If you’re not in a position to regularly use a Ctek or equivalent, then for such a small outlay in my opinion it’s a no brainer, Looks like it’s rated at 1.5 Ma so very minimal drain on the battery.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I saw the Clarke Bluetooth battery monitor mentioned in a recent Porsche magazine (can't remember which one) and wondered if anyone had experience of these and their worth. Our car isn't frequently used so being able to check the battery condition from outside the car to see if it needs a top up charge would be useful. Price is shown as £28.79 and I want to check if it's worth shelling out (or putting it on my Christmas list!)

POST 2Original post

I use a ctek moniotr https://www.ctek.com/uk/battery-chargers-12v-24v/accessories/car-accessories easy enough to pop the bonnet or leave poking out.. or buy the cigarette lighter version

POST 3Original post

I use trackers from TruTrak for my cars, either connected directly to the battery, or plugged into the ODB port. One of the reasons I originally bought them was they also report battery voltage. However, there’s also a £5pm cost for the GPS tracking side of things.

POST 4Original post

Hi Nick If you’re not in a position to regularly use a Ctek or equivalent, then for such a small outlay in my opinion it’s a no brainer, Looks like it’s rated at 1.5 Ma so very minimal drain on the battery. So go for it. Andy

POST 5Original post

+1 for the TruTrak devices. The bluetooth options are fine if you are near the car often enough to keep an eye on the app when it picks up the signal from the monitor. in my case I needed a way to remotely know if the voltage was getting low. As stated there is an on-going data cost. They use 4G.

POST 6Original post

+1 for the TruTrak devices. Great piece of kit and for £17 for 3 months it's a no-brainer, so much so that I've fitted one to all of our cars at home.
