Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I paid $125 installed for a Bosch size 91/H8 which is the biggest battery that will fit in the Boxster or 996.

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi All I need to replace the battery in my 986 tomorrow Just like to confirm its OK to stand in the trunk. Don't want to stuff my back up trying to remove from the side. Thanks for any advice

POST 2Original post

No worries. I'm doing it all the time. Just don't forget to vacuum up your footprints.

POST 3Original post

I just replaced the battery in my 996 Targa and found the best price at Pep Boys. They have a 30% off coupon online and free instalation. I paid $125 installed for a Bosch size 91/H8 which is the biggest battery that will fit in the Boxster or 996. It was less $ than the size 94/H7 which is smaller Also no need to stand in the frunk, you can do everything from the fender side

POST 4Original post

I found standing in the truck easier then from the side. At 6'4 and 210 lbs I had no problems. Try Batteries Plus. I got their branded battery for $95. Battery price seemed to have gone up in the last year as the battery I recently got for my daughters Mini was $105.

POST 5Original post

Only three manufacturers of Auto batteries in the world....not much difference in them

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks for the input guys - job done and back on the road. Right spec battery from BatteryWorld for A$209 and easy to fit. (Everything is twice the price in Australia) I will add a thread on Porsche prices in a few minutes....
