Porsche battery maintainer pro manual

Charger and trickle charger (5.0 A). The increased charging power reduces the battery's charging time. Select your region. An additional charge mode for Porsche lightweight batteries (lithium-ion) facilitates their use in motor sports, ideal for GT3, GT3 RS, GT2 RS, & other models with factory race batteries. This battery maintainer won't fix a defective battery. If you suspect that the battery is defective, or if a maintainer won't help, have your battery tested by a professional.

NOTE: "*" Battery Clamp Option : Some Classic and newer Porsche models won't allow you to charge via the cigarette lighter socket. For these models, you have to add adapter clamps so you can charge on the battery terminals directly. We recommend adding these clamps to make this maintainer compatible with a wider range of vehicles. See our notes below about vehicle specific restrictions and fitment.

Vehicle Specific Notes (updated):

• 981, 991, & 718 - For 2013-2024 Boxster or Cayman, & 2013-2019 911 Carrera models: Long term storage can put these cars in "Sleep Mode", which will disable the center console plug socket and shut off the battery maintainer. To bypass this, lock the door after setting up the battery maintainer. Or directly connect the battery maintainer to the recommended charging points using the optional alligator clips.
  
• Macan - "**" Macan models can't be charged at the 12 volt plugs inside the car. To bypass this, visit your local Porsche dealer and they can code your Macan to accept a battery maintainer. Or purchase the additional battery clamps and charge the battery directly.
  
• Panamera - For 2017 or newer Panamera models, you must purchase the additional maintainer clamps and charge and the battery directly.
• Cayenne - For 2017 or newer Cayenne models, you must purchase the additional maintainer clamps and charge and the battery directly for models without a cigarette lighter.
• 992 - For 2020 or newer 911 models, you must purchase the additional maintainer clamps and charge at the battery directly.
• E-Hybrid Models - This is NOT compatible with Porsche electric or hybrid models.
• All Models - In the event of a power outage, the maintainer will not restart itself automatically (for safety purposes). If power is lost, you will have to manually restart the maintainer when power is restored.

Must have if you do not drive your Porsche often. We made a video outlining the charger and how to set it up

I keep this on the car when I’m riding my motorcycle and on the motorcycle when I’m driving the car. Easy plug into lighter for keeping car charged.

Suncoast Parts shipped quickly and the charger works exactly as advertised. The perfect charger for my 2016 Porsche Cayman GTS.

Although some will go buy the CTEK chargers offered elsewhere, I felt a bit more comfortable with a new Macan going with the Porsche-branded unit. In particular, the fact that it handles AGM batteries, which my older charger did not, was important for use on our new Macan GTS. The unit comes with a nice silicone bootie to wrap the edges of the charger so it doesn't accidentally scratch your paintwork if you get it near the vehicle body. I did find that with a 2021 Macan that the accessory outlet on the center console will stay active if I turn on the ignition with the charger connected and powered, and then shut the ignition off. No programming of the vehicle was necessary. The charger goes through four stages of battery assessment and charging modes (indicated by LEDs), even if you disconnect and re-connect the charger (say, due to a power outage). But it will go through the early stages more quickly if the battery was fully charged already. All in all a great product and good for peace of mind. If leaving it on for an extended period, I suggest taking a look at the LED status every couple of days just in case there was a power interruption and you need to restart the cycle with the ignition on.

Acquired 2006 Cayman from my son who included an old trickle charger. This new one is superior in every way and works great. I would highly recommend it!

The accessory 12V port ( located in passenger side footwell) will “time out” after 30 minutes in the 992 preventing further charging. This can be prevented by having the ignition on when you connect the plugged in charger . The 12V socket will detect current and then disable the time-out when you turn off the ignition and lock your car. This applies to the 992 specifically. Alternatively, you can purchase an adapter that will allow you to hook terminals directly to the battery.

Purchased 2 of the Porsche Chargers to keep a Porsche battery and a boat battery fully charged while in storage. These are the easiest and most convenient chargers I've ever used and the ability to simply plug them into a cigarette lighter is the complete genius! Highly recommend and would purchase them again.

Reading the instructions and removing the packaging are the most time-consuming aspects of getting this the maintainer started! Great product and seems to be very well-made!

Got this as a replacement for a Porsche one purchased 10 years ago. In that time the Porsche folks have certainly learned a lot about marketing. If it sort of cost 200 bucks it had 100 bucks worth of attractive packaging. No complaints . Worked right away on our 2017 Cayenne Turbo. That would be more at home in a snowy winter than I would be driving it. Suncoast has their act together in the buying process. Easy site to navigate , prompt delivery. Would definitely purchase Porsche stuff from them again.
