Hello Everyone,
My much cherished 991 is displaying the dreaded 'low battery' warning more and more often so I'm thinking its time to replace the battery. I reckon I've had fair use as its the original battery and the car is about 7 years old.
The car is midway through a 2 year extended Porsche warranty so I think I'm obliged to buy an OEM battery. The Banner OEM ones have a 4 year warranty and aren't much more than the non-OEM offerings.
My question is this: Does the new battery need to be coded to the car - Google is telling me conflicting stories and I want to get it right.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
