These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1Original post

I've used a battery tender before on a car without electronics. Is it OK to use on my 2003 Boxster?

POST 3Original post

got 2 boxsters and a C 4 hooked up to one. sure increases the battery life.

POST 4Original post

Sounds good. Where and how have you guys been threading the cable?

POST 5Original post

I just sit it in the front seat floor and plug it in to the cigarette lighter.

POST 6Original post

Got a permanent pigtail hooked to the battery posts and barely sticking out from under the hood between the wipers. Cable from the battery tender is run across the ceiling and dropped down in the precise spot that I want the car parked and when I pull in I know just where to stop. when I exit the car I plug in the cable and it is good to go until I take it again. I have a 4 bank tender, one for each Porsche and one for the truck.

POST 8Original post

The technology for what used to be called trickle chargers and then float chargers has changed. The new device includes a sequence to de-sulfate the battery and automatically adjusts the rate of charge. Here is one example that I use: BatteryMINDer Model 1510 BatteryMINDer 1510 | 12 Volt Maintenance Charger with 10 Year Warranty There are other models and other brands that do the same hi-tech battery care.
