dead battery question 911 turbo

I have a 997 Porsche turbo(2007) with dead battery, not driven in nearly 4 years. Can I get a new battery and restart, or should I send to the porsche dealer on flatbed to check fuel/brake lines. drain old fuel, etc. Any suggestions?

Oh boy, Be safe take it to a reputable wrench and flush the fuel lines and tank out. While you are there the brake fluid too. You really need to drive her

Get your systems flushed and avoid additional and more costly problems down the road.

Sometimes batteries can be revived. Alternate high and low amps with an analog style charger OUT SIDE of the 911.

Otherwise, try AMAZON.com and get the yellow top optima.

As to the brakes and gas tank.....are you a DIY kinda guy? Not hard.
