992 Battery Trickle Charger

Postby atigs992 on Mon Oct 02, 2023 1:10 pm

hey guys, wondering if anybody has any experience using this device. I've heard that there is an issue using the 12V cig connection on the 992's as it stops after a few minutes so need to connect directly to the battery with the clips I guess... seems there's the OEM from the dealer or the CTEK brand available.. thanks

cheers

I always used the CTEK brand charger with my 991 GT3. Instead of attaching to the battery posts with the finger spring clips, I permanently wired one of their eyelet adapters to my battery and only had to attach the dual-pole quick-connector to the charger then lead the cord out the back of the hood and close it.

New member...

Have the 26' 992.2 4GTS. I used the Antigravity SC-10 Super-Charger when I was traveling for 4 weeks without any issues. The newer layout (12v battery is hidden) and +/- posts don't facilitate a permanent eyelet adapter install. If anyone has managed to figure this out, please suggest how best to install a more permanent solution.

A lot of confusion on 'Not' trickle charging and the impact of long-term storage affecting the 400v LiPo battery of the t-Hybrid system.

Hope someone can educate... Thanks
