    If it indeed comes with the factory charger, I suggest you replace it. The Ferrari trickle chargers are made by Ctek, which is awesome, but they use an old version of their charger which seem to have issues keeping the battery charged. Many on the forum use Ctek 7002, which is fantastic. Also don't forget to use "snowflake" mode on the charger, which is for AGM batteries.

    Leave the Benz off, and plug in the F car. I have gone weeks without driving the 911 - or the wife's 250 SLK when we owned it - no tender, starts immediately and without drama. I don't know what Ferrari is doing, but the Germans seem to have batteries and electronics sorted out!

    I reached out to another forum member about the adapter cable for the 7002. I'll go down that route if the adapter works out. Thanks for the suggestion!
