My original Porsche Moll battery met its death knell yesterday - 2yrs and 11 months old, but fortunately i took the extended warranty and the RAC were with me in under an hour (very good when you are alongside Kielder Water in the middle of nowhere !) to get me going.

So a ring round this am...

EuroCar Parts - Bosch 80Ah (420/720) - £82 + vat
Porsche Centre - Moll 80Ah (380/640 ?) - £121 + £15 for acid :ROFLMAO: + Vat - £144 after pcgb discount
Local tyre depot - Varta Dynamic Blue F17 - 80Ah, 740A cold crank - £87 all in


Wait for it...



Costco...


Bosch Sliver Plus Series..

S5 010 model - 85Ah, 800A cold cranking

£19.98 + VAT

grand total of..

£23.48



this is not a scam, thats the price on their system, the price on the battery rack label and the price i just paid for mine.

Not old stock either - apparently Bosch have struggled to sell them, reduced their prices and costco have done their bulk purchase buying power.

All silver series plus batteries are slashed in price at costco.


If your 986/996/987/997 is 3-4 years old then chances are your battery is about to die - get down to Costco and have yourself a reserve !
 
I went to Costco last night but the sales guy recommended I didn't buy one as 997 (only Boxster) is not listed and said it could cause damage to the ECU etc as not the correct battery. How likely does this sound?
 
Sounds unlikley but I suppose he's just covering himself! I went to Leeds Costco today and they said all the cut price stock was gone [:mad:]
