Replacement Battery
I went to try and pick up an Interstate MTP-93 for my C4S but I was told this battery model was discontinued. They ended up giving me a MTP94R as they say this is the replacement for the MTP-93. This battery does not have a vent and it is shorter in length. What are you guys putting in for replacement batteries?

I had an Optima Red Top, it gave me nothig but problems, from day 1, I would leave my car for 3 days, and then I needed a boost, took it into Interstate, they would recharge it, and tell me that there is nothing wrong with the battery, the battery was into Interstate every year I had it, 4 years. When I took my car out of storage, decided in putting a EXIDE FP-AGML5/49, would leave for a week, no problems at all, it's a big battery and heavy.

Pep Boys - Bosch battery....$110.00....drop in replacement for the original. In fact, it looks exactly like the factory one that came out of my car. I do not know this for sure, but, it would not surprise me if Bosch makes the battery for Porsche.
All the best,

You need a vented battery. Most batteries are made by one of a few companies. All they do is change the sticker. Just buy one with the best warranty and you will be fine.

I remember reading in Consumer Reports that Johnson Controls make the majority of batteries including Walmart and Bosch,
BTW, I bought a 05 Dodge Ram diesel in Oct. 04, sameoriginal batteries. startslike new till today,think it has something to do with diesels don't need spark once they are started like gas engines

Would I run into issues if I don't put in a vented battery?

Same as I use. No problems and should last 4 years at the least. Lock car fully every time you get out. It takes more out of the battery unlocked than it does on a locked car.

Thanks all. I will be returning the Interstate battery today and heading to Walmart to pick up a H7 replacement battery. The closest Pep Boys is about 30 minutes away and on their website, I am only finding a battery that cost $180 for my 996. I am assuming they went up in price? I'm looking at a group 49 battery correct?
