My vote: replace. $120, the cost of battery, is same as the cost of Porsche $$$ labor looking at the problem . If that doesn't work than at least now you could concentrate on problem being that other thing, what is it, alternator ;-).

Take 10 minutes to do, and if I could do it, ANYONE with 5 fingers could do it LOL. Check this thread: https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...m-battery.html

replace it, I did mine after about 4 years vs. rolling the dice on the factory unit.
