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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

1 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

There was a chap on the Boxster forum a few weeks ago with the same issue, and a charger didn't work for him.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi all, Just a quick question. My battery went dead after a couple of weeks non use so I put a trickle on it. The alarm went a bit mad and eventually went off, unfortunately so has all my electrics. The only thing I can do is manually open and lock the drivers door. I do know to att. a battery to the Red strip in the fuse box and also to earth it but that hasn't worked ( to open the front). Now I didn't use a battery, I used a battery charger with a slow, fast and a car start function. I used the car start function to attempt to open the front up. Would this work? or am I going to have to look for another reason for the problem. Cheers Dave

POST 2Original post

I don't think a charger will work. There was a chap on the Boxster forum a few weeks ago with the same issue, and a charger didn't work for him.

POST 3Original post

Doesn't it depend how dead the battery is I ad to replace a battery as it couldn't re charge last year but ca trickle charge this one when it went dead due to lack f use The standard chargers can show how your battery is holding up. Or even worse the alternator is gone

POST 4Original post

Or use this method to power the central locking, but you WILL need a battery for this: http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/fb.asp?m=733735
