Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Design 911 lists batteries of 4 different sizes - ranging from circa 28cm to 40cm long - as suitable for my 996 turbo. This seems a little surprising - and some sites claim the S4 011 is NOT suitable. Does anyone know for sure? I am inclined towards the S4 010. I know I could wait until I get home to measure up and order, but I would like to order before I leave the office if possible! Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

S5 010 is pretty normal for 996/997. S4 is same size I expect.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks - just been through my paperwork and I see the last battery, a Duracell DA74, was installed in May 14, so I guess / hope the slow cranking and occasional flat I'm experiencing is just a dead-ish battery.... will probably go Bosch

POST 4Original post

I would use Bosch as a preference. Eurocarparts offer discount codes.

POST 5Original post

I ordered a Bosch S5 010 from 'Tayna Batteries' back in 2017 and still going strong. Good delivery time and well packaged.

POST 6Original post

I put this in my car and it's working nicely: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00RZ4ZRIO

POST 7Original post

I went for Yuasa 'HSB110' this time, 800cca & 85ah, same as Bosch S5 110, £115 from Halfrauds, cranks good.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks all - will probably go Bosch, just waiting for the rain to stop so I can check it's not an issue with sulphurisation / knackered contacts! PS, yes I do know the bonnet opens in the rain but there's no rush!
