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

I finally got my battery charged up.. drove around for about 45 minutes.. then parked and turned the car off, and now it wouldn't turn over again.. argh.. (it was sitting for a month undriven) does anyone think there is any sense in bringing it to a charger place or should i just buy a new battery? and is the porsche battery anything special, or just your typical $60-$80 sears battery?

POST 2Original post

Bob - Check out the link below that was posted on Renntech. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index...46&#entry14446

POST 3Original post

How old is your car? How often do you drive it? My last two new Porsches both had battery failures within 2 1/2 years. The solution, use a battery tender/maintainer. They really work and they are inexpensive. ($50.00 to $60.00) As far as which battery to buy, if you don't show your car in concours competition, buy any name brand battery you like. Porsche would love to sell you a replacement for about $200.00 w/tax.

POST 5Original post

Optima Red Top - $90.00 from Costco, saves about 13lbs, no need to mess around w/a vent tube, or fluid sloshing around.

POST 6Original post

FORD is having a sale on batteries. Check them out Bob. (Sorry, just couldn't resist)

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Glad to see you are always checking up when ford has sales.. waiting for that new focus to come down in price huh?

POST 8Original post

From the looks of that battery picture, there's one hell of a stereo in your car, isn't there Rob?

POST 9Original post

1999: leave the poor guy alone..... LOL that is a hoot :-)

POST 10Original post

Nothing too special, just replaced the amp and the speakers. Rod at http://www.caraudioinnovations.com/ is da man.

POST 12Original post

Bob, anything special needed to fir the red top in the 996. I'm going to be needing a battery soon, would like an Optima. Thanks

POST 13Original post

I'm a little confused here. Is there any durability or efficiency benefit from using a vented vs. non-vented battery? Is one preferable to another?

POST 14Original post
