It is comforting to come out and find the Green fully charged indicator lit most of the time now.

The CTEK version (same as what Porsche sells, just different logo) is not expensive, and it is easy to use. I think Porsche knows a lot of owners don't drive these cars enough and that is why they (and other sports car makers) market the CTEK chargers with the cars and some even include them with the car.
Hi. What is the link for the CTek charger? Thanks

Thats what I was doing for a couple of weeks-driving it dirty.They actually do very well in the rain. Finally I got tired of looking at the dried on grime. After I wash it I try to keep it clean for a couple of weeks at least.
