Golly what fun. I went to open the trunk on the 911, and the light did not come on. Not good. I had not driven it for a couple of weeks so I put it on the trickle charger. All was fine for the breakfast on Saturday, but I was not happy about the battery. It has been in the there for 6 years. It was a 30 month AGM battery. So today I pulled it out, and replaced it with a new one, and now they are 36 months. With the upcoming HEAT of Palm Springs, I did not want a wimpy battery.
It was a royal pain to get in and out. The battery huge, and there is just enough room to put it in place. I have to remove the front condenser blower to have enough room to maneuver it in or out. It is back in place, and I went on a short test drive and all is fine.
Now I 'get" to do the battery on my wife's Macan. It is over 6 years old, and at about time to proactively replace it. Then we do the tires with only 22,000 miles but getting old.
