Hi Folks

With the Cayman sat on the drive most of the time, the battery is getting a bit low and I was thinking about getting a charger, but not sure what type. I also have a diesel Golf, which has the same problem, not being used much at the moment.

I have looked at the NOCO Smart Chargers Genius 5 and 10, the boost the battery, trickle charge etc.

Would appreciate any thoughts or recommendations.

Another vote for CTEK, i have used them for over 10 years my 997 is hooked up and a z3 on the drive, no prblems.

 
Adam,

I’m not familiar with the NOCO chargers but like Steve have used the same CTEK charger for more than 10-years without problems, although the selection button can be a bit ‘iffy’ these days (a known fault due to contact corrosion).

Note that the Porsche Charge-o-mat charger is just a rebranded CTEK so it’s probably cheaper to buy elsewhere.

OptiMate chargers also have their fans. Jeff

 
Thanks Andrew much appreciated, I have just bought the CTEK and accessories. That should look after the cars.

Regards

Adam
