Rather then buying yet another battery charger (I have an automatic variable current monster, a 1A motorcycle unit and even a couple of solar trickle panels). Rather then buying the Porsche unit...

Is there anything special about the Porsche branded units?

Can I use the small motorcycle unit or a solar panel?

I am going away for a week, do I even need to worry?

Thanks

My 996 goes a week routinely without a problem.

I have left our 987s for six weeks whilst on holiday without any problem on my return. The 1 Amp motorbike charger could be ideal especially if it has battery condition monitoring, the solar trickle panels could work also if you get any sun this time of year in BC ;)
