H6, H7, H8 battery. Which is "Right"
Just want to get this info into the 996 and 997 forums. Thank you all for the archived information
Summary of my Rant in a different forum
FYI, I am putting my 3rd different size battery in my 05 996. The smallest, the 48/H6 lasted over 5 years despite being under the OEM CCA and frequently being stored in a discharged condition
Looking at conventional batteries, I noticed that Pepboys has the most expensive AGM and least expensive non-agm. Further, the biggest H8 cost the same as the smaller H6. What does that prove about the cost of lead/antimony and plastic and how marketing determines purchase price? I had to manipulate the website to allow me to buy the size of my choice by putting 3 different cars in my virtual garage on the site.
2000 911 H6 (48) Bosch Premium * 40 lbs 760 CCA $140 OE CCA: 650
2005 911 H7 (94R) Bosch Platimum AGM 47 lbs 800 CCA $200 OE CCA: 740
2010 911 H8 (49) Bosch Platimum AGM 52 lbs 850 CCA $200 OE CCA: 740
2000 911 H6 (48) Bosch Premium * 39 lbs 690 CCA $114 OE CCA: 650
2005 911 H7 (94R) not available
2010 911 H8 (49) Bosch Premium 45 lbs 850 CCA $114 OE CCA: 740
* adding to the confusion the site lists two batteries with the same label with different cases and product numbers
So I got the H8 Bosch Premium, Lowest price, highest CCA, Medium weight
FYI 15% off $100 online purchase (code SPEED15), in January (sorry for the late notice)
10% off Bosch batteries, online (code BOSCH10)

If you feel like taking out the battery tray and welding (or glue) a nut to the bottom, then you can go with the smaller battery size. I believe only two of the three holes have threading. (i forget which)
"The porsche stock sizes are 90, 91, 92 (smallest to largest, there are three mounting holes in the tray). These correspond to sizes 47, 48, 49 where the length and the width are the same but the 40 series batteries are 1/2" taller."

Got mine at Pep boys. I know whatever they have listed was the exact stock size in my C4s.
Make it even easier take your battery out , bring it in , and there model will match up exactly. Mine was also a little over $100.
