A charger would be much more preferable... DONT start it to let it idle, leave it alone!

Thanks Mike I'll be charging mine on the drive so I'll put the ctek just inside the tailgate. 2017 4.4 SDV8 Autobiography 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster - Gone, but not forgotten |

That will be fine Rob..... the main advantage for me having the charger outside on the bumper is that I don’t need to open the tailgate to see the LED’s on the Ctek.... maybe you can see yours through the window ?

I have to talk wife into using mine for her drive to work every couple of weeks. Decent blast down the M6. Other wise it doesn't move, which after just paying £600 insurance is annoying |

Look on the bright side Stan, your fuel bill is down and the jabs on its way.

The power feed is fused on the obd port. It wouldn’t affect anything else. You could only trickle charge through it. Sub 5amps. For that reason alone it wouldn’t really be worth while. Just connect to points under bonnet. As above, as long as battery is kept charged, tyres inflated, everything else will be fine sitting. Starting, idling will have negative effect long term. |

Wow, that really is low usage! I've only had mine since mid June and I've filled it up 17 times, although that is less than half the mileage I did in the same period last year. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid MY19 SDV8 Autobiography - Sold |

I hope you guys have consulted the relevant manual and not just blindly hooking up a charger to any point that is convenient.
