Trickle charger connection
Peter , the 12V system has a few components under that fused terminal (11 in the diagram) including a power regulator (8 in the diagram) so I felt it safe to say that a CTEK inline fuse is not needed if going via the underbonnet terminal.

The charging side is independent of the discharging side. You cannot charge a battery at 300A, the chemicals can't cope, but you can discharge it at that rate. It's like blowing up a balloon, slow puffs over 2 minutes to inflate, and deflation in seconds.

Just purchased a Ctek MXS 5.0 battery minder. Can anyone definitively verify that I can use this with the cargo area cigar lighter on a 2022 Macan? Some say no it's not hot when vehicle is turn off and some say yes if you hook it up within 30 seconds of turning off the ignition.
Thanks

It should be fine, assume it’s the same as the centre consul socket. I use a CTEK this way with my Gen 2 GTS, although the 12v socket will power down within I think app 10mins? The method is as follows….Switch the ignition on, connect the charger, turn the charger on, check its charging and then turn off the ignition.Lenster wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 8:54 pm Just purchased a Ctek MXS 5.0 battery minder.

Thanks. But I heard they changed it on Gen 3. I'll probably just kook in up with eyelets to the changer posts under the hood and remove the eyelets before I bring it in for service so they don't complain about the warrenty.MikeM wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2024 9:55 pmIt should be fine, assume it’s the same as the centre consul socket.

Re OP comment, Yes they do stop charging, Step 7 indicates fully charged and Step 8 is pulsing (last light to the right) if this is what you are seeing fine. The 12v socket is part of the electrical circuit and power can flow both ways, so absolutely fine to use it
