Hi,
In principle, no batteries are covered by the warranty..... however if you can prove its defective and not just worn out, then you have a chance.

The Moll manufactured batteries supplied by Porsche are warranted by Porsche for 2 years. There seems to be a high incidence of failure with this type and it is interesting to note that Porsche no longer fit them to new cars. I've had 3 of these crappy things in my Boxster and all have failed at around 3 years. All of these were found to have one of the cells dead. The last one failed 6 weeks ago and was replaced with a Varta battery which has a higher capacity than the equivalent Moll, Bosch and Exide - it cost £90. A bonus is Varta offer a 5 year warranty.
Hi
My Cayman Porsche Battery was fitted new at last service September 2012 but in March 2014 the battery failed
so I duly reported problem to my dealership who duly replaced it under the warrant as it was first fitted by themselves.
They offered to replace it with another Porsche battery but I turned the offer down and ask them to replace damaged
battery with a better Bosch vision which they was happy to do at no extra cost and since then I have had no problems
with the new battery.
So I would say if you brought the battery within the last two years or it was fitted by a Porsche dealer in that two years
I would say they have to replace it, they may have to do a battery check to see if it failed but this only takes about 24hrs
to confirm this is the case.
From now on I would always buy the Bosch battery over the Porsche vision as its much better & if your dealership are charging
£280 to replace battery you think it includes fitting but I would go to Euro Parts and buy a Bosch 4 or 5 vision for about £80 and fit it yourself as its easy to do i would think.
All the best and I hope this information is of help to you. yours sincerely Kevin. [

Had a call from my local opc today to say porsche gb have decided to refund the cost of replacement battery ....i am now one happy bunny ...
£280 is I believe, the price *fitted*.
I bought the Porsche one a couple of years ago and fitted it myself (I couldn't find an alternative near me at the time). It was considerably cheaper than the advertised fitted price - although still not as cheap as the £80-90 above!
