Porsche's $1,700 Starter Battery Option For Boxster Spyder, 911 GT3

Quote:
Perhaps only Porsche, with its long legacy of pricey options, could consider charging $1,700 for a starter battery.

To be fair, this isn't just any old 12-Volt lead-acid starter battery. It's a lightweight, lithium-ion pack with a similar form factor and the same mounts as a standard battery. It's not only 3 inches lower, but also--at 13 pounds--a full 22 pounds lighter than the original.
