Mine is dead as a dodo and won't hold charge. What can people recommend to replace it?

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.

Voltphreaks - expensive but light with auto shut off giving you crank power when needed.

Seems like there are oversize ones for S4 which are type 019, or regular sized which are 013? Cold cranking amps seem to be lower for the smaller one....

I bought a Bosche one from GSF. I took my old battery in to compare because it felt like a very snug fit when extracting it. I think the Bosche one that I found recommended on here was physically a bit larger so i was paranoid it wouldn't fit. GSF found another one whose size was identical to the Porsche battery but more powerful, so I bought that.

If you have the Porsche warranty still you'll have to go for that MOLL rubbish else they'll reject a claim. I had to downgrade an almost new Bosch to the MOLL one year for warranty continuation. It's still on there now but very often goes flat if I don't remember to put the C-TEK on, but it's alright because the old (and much cheaper) Bosch covered in sawdust and spiders hidden in the corner of the garage always has enough power to make me think it'll shear off the starter pinion gear.
