Yes, it's the correct battery. It's as big as the Cayenne's so if I need another, that will go it. Fluke says it's at 12.98V right now. Heading home soon so will put the battery terminals back on over night and see what I get tomorrow morning.

Wheel spins freely, not locked, but the key is in the receptacle.

It just seems strange that it would drain so fast. It was 35ºF when I left for work this morning and it started right up. And again a few times moving the car to work on it and then while fussing with the bulbs. Then dead.
