Copied and pasted from a previous PH post:

Changing Boxster battery (all models)

You will need to put the key in the ignition and turn to the SECOND position (all dash warning lights come on)to stop the alarm going off when you disconnect the battery (not the first position). Leave the key in the ignition while changing the battery.

You will also need the radio code.

You will also need to reset the throttle potentiometer by switching on the ignition (to second position) for at least one minute then switch off before starting the engine. - do not press throttle during the one minute wait.

Also the windows will need re-setting, just wind them all the way down (with the door closed) then all the way up, once they reach the stop press the up button again (repeat for each window).


Detailed battery changing instructions are available in the workshop manuals which can be downloaded for free (in pdf format) from http://www.cannell.co.uk/Manuals.htm
