Do I need to trickle? And how!

Hi everyone.

I have another question.

My 991.2 Targa that I have now only had for a matter of weeks - doesn't get used often enough, and when it does, it can be short journeys, (with lots of requests to put the roof up and down!!)

So I think I probably need to keep my battery conditioned.

I have looked on the forum, and also on you tube - but cant find much that actually shows me what charger to get, and where to plug it in (is there somewhere actually inside the car, rather than opening up the front, and taking off the plastic to expose the battery?)

Are the chargers standard - or am I possibly going to have a different type of battery that needs a different type of charger?

Which particular model should I look for?

Is it this one -(12V)
ctek-mxs-5-0-battery-charger-and-maintainer

Is it recommended to plug in a charger / conditioner, every time I park the car (especially as it's likely to be unused for a few days)? Or do I only plug it in if I am leaving for, say, more than a week?

And the sequence too make it work apparently is this:
"Put key in ignition turn on the ignition but not start the car. After say 20 seconds i turn off the ignition. Then plug in the charger into footwell socket and then plug charger into wall socket and turn on."

Anything else I should know?

Many thanks

Steve
