flat battery ?
Jan Mikkelsen via CarKB.com 16 April 2005 18:21:02
	Have a 1997 Targa (40K miles) where the battery gets drained if it sits more than 2 weeks. I put a new battery in it in February and that's now flat. Hadn't had a chance to drive the car more than once every 2-3 weeks. I have the original Porsche radio/cassette + a Porsche cd changer. I suspect these for the draining but not sure. Anybody with similar problems ?

	Even new car batteries like to be used more than every 2 weeks for short periods. Also, you may be in a cold climate...which wouldn't help the situation. Best solution I found was to install one of the very small "microprocessor" controlled "trickle chargers" that sense when the battery voltage drops a certain amount and automatically turn on and bring it back to full charge. These are about the size of a notebook PC power converter (small, squarish) and the last one I used I simply wire tied to the side of the battery, inserted the leads into the battery poles, and it had its own "AC plug". When I parked the beast, I simply opened the front hood and plugged in an extension cord. Worked perfectly for over 3 years. Porsche also sells one that fits in the cigarette lighter plug...and I understand it works, but it's (of course) Porsche priced. Regards from Texas!

	Go to the dollar store or some discount retailer for a cigarette lighter charger. I have 5 year old batteries in my 73 911 E that start just fine. The charger only puts out 200mA and does the trick. It was only a few dollars at Wal Mart 7 years ago. and still works fine. Much cheaper than two $80 batteries every year or so.
