Like a few people here I am having battery troubles at the moment on my 996.
For the last few days it has been too flat to turn over in the morning. It will accept a jump start and runs fine but is not re-charging enough to re-start. I charged the battery overnight (12 hours) and had a decent reading on the guage this morning (around 15), but having taken only a short journey to work with no lights, Heated window or CD player on the go it had already lost its charge within 1 hr of getting to work.
Belts seem tight enough - when squeeze tested by hand??
The fluid level in the battery is below the top of metal elements, but as there is no fill level on the Porsche Battery I don't know if this is correct???? :?
If the Battery is dead, can anyone recomend a suitable replacement of 80a plus for a 996? I believe the Bosch Silver is a good replacement for a 993, but not sure about 996???
Any help would be greatly recieved!!!
Thanks
Andy
