I have an '03 996 with the original battery and have been considering proactively replacing the battery rather than waiting to get stuck somewhere. (Sorry....I know....no sense of adventure!)

I have a Porsche trickle charger that is attached through the cigarette lighter socket.

Can it be left plugged in during a battery replacement so I don't have to deal with lost codes, etc.? Or is there a better way to maintain current in the necessary circuits? (I'd hate to count on it, only to have it kick off because it didn't detect a battery.)

Thanks.

Well since you have an 03 you wouldnt have had to enter a radio code anyways. Other than that keeping the trickle charger plugged in wont hurt anything.

You can goto Autozone in the battery accessory section and they have a settings saver that basically is a lighter plug with a 9 volt battery attached to it... Pretty smart idea.
