TriX5 is on a distinguished road
These cars don't seem to respond well to anything other than normal operating parameters. I had mine in the garage for quite a long time, couple of years actually. I had a battery maintainer on it the entire time to avoid any issues. Still, when I put it back in service, the nav computer was dead, no video signal. I felt lucky that was the only thing as replacing it was literally a five minute fix :-)

A battery maintainer is definitely the better way. CTEK seems to be a decent brand (Porsche recommends it for their vehicles).
