There isn't much reason not to leave your battery on a modern tender if you aren't gonna drive it for a week, and the frunk isn't air-tight.
I know, my poor simple neighbor bought the car from Porsche, bought the battery from Porsche, and bought the Porsche branded trickle charger from Porsche, who cooda node?

The Porsches and some other euro cars are in kind of a different situation for battery charging as in they have the battery located in enclosed spaces. My picture just illustrates the potentials that are there. I wonder what the actual occurrence is, 1 in 10,000-100,000 or 1,000,000?

Do I trickle charge my truck or other vehicles with the hood closed? heck yes, it is all open under the engine compartment and the hoods are not sealed like the Pcars
