I hadn't considered it a warranty matter but will check with the OPC in case it has been using more power than it should.

Is it the keyless entry option, maybe that uses more power, but if it needed replacing within the 3 yr warranty, id be asking Porsche personally as I think it should last longer than that?

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.

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

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 2020 911 and the key battery needs replacing. Does anyone know if this has to be done by an OPC (so it can be programmed) or is it a simple new for old replacement at Timpsons/Halfords? Thanks for sharing experiences.

POST 2Original post

Simple DIY. Instructions in the vehicle manual - or the Porsche Good To Know app.

Really ? For a battery that costs a couple of quid ??!!

POST 6Original post

Never replaced a key battery in six years, but those damn tracker fobs seem to need a new CR2032 battery at least every six months.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks everyone for your insights. I hadn't considered it a warranty matter but will check with the OPC in case it has been using more power than it should.

Don’t waste your time (or theirs), just buy another battery!. If this one doesn’t last long then maybe at that point you mention mention it to the OPC.
