Hi all. I am the proud new owner of a 2005 911 with 17K miles. I am the second owner.

I've been going through the car and one thing that popped into mind was the age of the battery. At 8 years old I can't image it has the original battery, or could it?

I don't want to throw money at a non-issue, but if that battery really is 8 years old I want to replace it asap so that I am not left stranded.

Is there any type of date found on MOLL batteries. I can't find anything, other than a stamp on the NEG post 10 50

Thanks.

 

I bought an 06 used, started great, original battery....one day its fine and the next day it is dead

spend $130 at walmart H7 and sleep better,,cheaper than a tow

 

or car parts store will test it for free.

 

2009 original dead a few weeks ago. Spent $135 (installed) at Pep Boys for a Bosch that slipped right in. Highly recommend.

 

Date code is stamped on the negative terminal. In your case 50th week of 2010.

 

I learn something everyday

 

THANK YOU VERY MUCH! You just saved me from wasting money on a new battery.

 

a batterycan go at any time, have it tested;...I have original batteries in my 05 dodge ram diesel

 

Spend the little bit of money and put a new H4 battery in.. Then you know how old it is, and that you have 4-6 years of life ahead and stop worrying about it.

 

Good idea...the proper size is the H7 (94R) - Interstate, Everlast, etc.

 

Is H7 (94R) also the right size for 2006 997.1 ?

 

Yes.

 

Got 7 years out of my OEM original.
