- MY 2012 997.2, and I installed the AGM 80ah Battery [Banner] & it was the exact same dimensions as of old battery
- In fact, the Banner AGM Battery had Porsche's PN stamped on the top of the Battery, and was the OEM 'spec' battery.
- So, I was curious why you could not install a compatible size AGM battery

Just some observations. [And, I've never thought about using the Trickle Charger to retain all of the memory settings.]
Mine was not born with AGM its a 2011 and the alternator an charging system are synced for a wet battery
