Want to replace OEM Battery. Which one do you guys like?
I have a 2004 996 TT X50 and would like to replace my OEM battery with a lighter and smaller setup. What batteries are you guys using? How many days will a smaller battery keep charged up? Could you post some pictures of your setup.
Thanks, G |
I dont know about Porsches, but we always use Optima batteries. They always hold up well in our competition and show vehicles with big audio/video installs.

Jimmer, did you fabricate that battery mounting bracket, or did you just buy it? I want to put an optima in, but I don't want to buy a special bracket.
If you did fab it up, do you have any directions?? Thanks!! |
i have the same battery as jimmer as well.
battery holds great with maybe 15lbs of weight savings. i fabricated my bracket with a long piece of aluminum from home depot. i bent it appropriately and put the screws as well. just make sure you align everything well. i found a diy somewhere im sure you can search it. |

Awesome, THANKS Jimmer!!!!!!!

Thanks for all of your info. How well does the Optima Battery hold charge? How many days will the charge last without starting the car?
Thanks |
If you do not go the Optima route I have had an Interstate battery and it has worked flawlessly. It is no weight savings but a good replacement for the stock battery
|
Thanks for the offer. I want to go lighter.

This one, it weights only 16 lbs.

I went with Costco! Can't beat Kirkland's 3 year warranty. ;-)

What does the stock oem battery weigh?
What does the Optima Red Top battery weigh? |
I have an Optima Yelllow with the custom mounting bracket. I needed a deep cycle for my sound system...
I have a source for the battery mounting bracket and he's in LA. PM me for details. |
