Default Battery Tender

Hi there.

Winter is coming. I bought my 997.2 just over a month ago and want to make sure she sleeps well during the winter. What tender do you guys suggest I get? I want to have the quick connect option.

Thanks!

+1 on the Noco’s

I have the one below the 3500, works like a charm.

Yep, everything you need. Quick connector for hardwiring, regular jumper clips, in line fuse etc.

I've got 3 Battery Tenders® and use 2 of them w/a quick disconnect lead; one in my 996 and another in a BMW. The third is just better to use in my MR2 w/clips. I've also got a dual Battery Tender® that I use on the 2 batteries in my F250.

I've never had a problem w/any of them.

My last couple of Noco Genius from CT.
They used to come with hard wire and quick connect.
My last sealed unit just came with the Quick connect, no hard wire included.
If it matters,
Check what is included CT against Amazon.

I've got a few different chargers and must say my fav is the Noco 3500. You can even get a lighter plug adaptor, so you can charge through the cigarette lighter.

CTEK with lighter adapter has worked flawlessly for years for me.
