Battery dead after key was left in car
This isn't a complaint...maybe we could change the forum name to "issues"?

I left my key in the ignition for two days in the off position and just found my battery completely dead. Only Porsche knows what the car was doing that whole time. No outward display of power usage was evident. Nothing was "on".

Anyway, I popped my maintenance charge into a 12V hole and opened the hatch. Now I have the battery on my super-deluxe computerized charger. I selected 10amps...which is supposed to charge the battery in about 6 hours from where it is now.

What should I expect from this battery now that it has been run down?

Should I be doing a 2 amp charge? 20 amps?

I am think of rigging a battery tender junior connector to the battery and plugging my car into the wall as a regular habit.
