All vehicles which are not driven on a regular basis can have their
battery charge depleted. This is especially true of newer vehicles with
electronic components which draw continuously on battery power, even if the
motor is turned off.
Our 12 Volt handheld battery charger and tender (updated model) has been
specially designed for your Porsche. This battery charger, equipped with an
auto-off function and a trickle charger function, will check and maintain the
battery charge at an optimum level, and can remain indefinitely plugged into
your vehicle.
To
recharge your battery, you need not raise you Porsche's hood. Simply plug in
the charger socket into an electrical outlet and insert the connector in the
dashboard cigarette lighter. The charge light remains on when your battery
is being recharged and goes off automatically when the latter reaches its
optimal charging state.
For
vehicles that are not equipped with a cigarette lighter or vehicles whose
cigarette lighter is wired to the terminal number 15, an adapter is required to
allow a direct hook-up to the battery terminals.
The
charging current can be set to two different levels on the battery charger;
therefore the latter can also be used to charge small 12 Volt batteries.
This
battery charger and tender is built for European specification vehicles (input
220-230 VAC). A separate plug adapter may be required depending on the country
of use.
Suggested
quantity per vehicle: 1.
Note: this part is sold individually.
If your
vehicle is not equipped with a cigarette lighter to which the battery charger
can be plugged, we recommend that you also purchase our Adapter Cable for the
battery charger. This adapter cable will allow you to plug your Porsche battery
charger directly to the vehicle’s battery, bypassing the cigarette lighter:
