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.

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 regularly use a trickle charger and regularly (3-5 times a week) drive my 996. However, I'm aware that the battery is not performing as well as it could/should be. The car is now 18 years old and whilst I'm sure it's not on it's original battery I haven't replaced it in my 6 years of ownership. Does anyone have any recommendations as to brand/type of battery and the best place to source it?

POST 2Original post

POST 5Original post

Great price. Mine is a good 7+ years old & connected to a C-tek whenever not in use for a few days or more....

POST 6Original post

I won’t buy branded batteries from Amazon or EBay anymore. A local motor factor told me about fake bosch once. Not sure if he was spinning me a yarn to get a sale or not.
