Hi Guys,

I am new here having bought a Boxster S a month ago.

Apologies if I am going over old ground - I tried the search but is appears to be disabled - but the battery on my car appeared to pack up yesterday. The AA guy said there was nothing draining the battery and the alternator was still charging so I guess the battery needs replacing.

I was wondering if anyone knew the correct battery type for the 986S and the best place to source them. I'm only a stone's throw from Chiswick AFN so I was thinking of getting them to sort it. However, I imagine I will pay seriously over the odds to sort out a relatively trivial problem. Any advice gratefully recieved.

Lift the cover and get the part number off the battery. Ring around the local motor factors for a replacement and save over £100 I paid £35 for the battery for my 986 (not an S)

Get the Battery code from here: www.barden-uk.com/Varta%20Automotive.pdf

National tyres have Varta silver top batteries at a good price.
