Can I trickle charge using the 12 volt in the dash?

The beast is filled with gas, washed and won't be driven again until May.

I Have a Porsche branded trickle charger with the 12 volt male. Does the 12 in the dash remain 'hot' so as to allow trickle charging?

Thanks.

They do not; they’re relay controlled. Best to connect the charger to the battery directly. Just make sure it’s AGM compatible.
