You want a battery tender that controls the charge level and not just a trickle charger. I use a Battery Tender Plus on all my cars in winter storage. You need to make sure it comes with a ring terminal harness (preferably) or alligator clips, +/- an extender cable if necessary. The 12V ports in this car are shut down as soon as the engine is turned off and can't be used for a battery tender device.

Thanks, can you tell me the one you use so I can look it up?

I have multiple BT's. I know other people like the Porsche battery maintainers but they're pricey and I've never been able to get them working correctly.

I use this brand battery tender on my 240 & my 2017 Silverado that I don’t drive much. I have also used it on other classic cars throughout the years having owned about 6 of them at one time. I have included pics of the alligator clips and the direct connection to the battery. Personally, I would not consider the Porsche charger. 75% of the cost is the Porsche name. The tender MC posted looks like a good one also. Bottom line, get a decent one that will do the job for you.
