Cayman battery removal
Discussion
OK nothing too scary then, It's a varta battery in there just now but it's not been very good, gets used every day of the year as well.
Just had a look, think it's Bosch S4010, can anyone confirm? £72 delivered not too scary
Thanks,
Dunc.
Edit Bosch also do a S5010 for "upper class cars" It's £85, worth the extra?
S4010:- 12V, capacity 80Ah, cold test current 740A, 315mm long, 175mm wide, 175mm high
S5010:- 12V, capacity 85Ah, cold test current 800A, 315mm long, 175mm wide, 175mm high

They are twice the CCA of the standard battery so either will be fine, I guess.Just had a look, think it's Bosch S4010, can anyone confirm? £72 delivered not too scary

All done, no problem beyond a few flashy lights on the dash on start up. Keeps the radio station and CD names etc too
On the 2007 cayman it's in the front boot right next to the bulk head under a plastic cover. It's mounted very high which isn't ideal but I guess packaging problems dictated this.

I think you can avoid all this "resetting" if you get some thin wires and crocodile clips so that the new battery is connected before you disconnect the old one. You don't need heavy jump start cables - just normal wire and some decent crocodile clips.
What actually needs to be reset? OPC said they had to do this on my car and should have charged me but as a gesture of good will they didn't...SkinnyP said:

Bosch use the En measurement and Moll Kamina batteries
(who make the Porsche one) use Din measurement
which is why it appears much lower but is in effect, roughly the same.
Of course the dealer will still make you fit the Moll if you want the warranty.
