996 Battery

[bmcneill996]

I need to replace the battery in my 2003 996, currrently I am using an Interstate battery, however it does not have a port for the OE vacuum line. I would appreciate any ideas or solutions other than the Porsche battery at 200 plus dollars.

Hi there. Are you sure your Interstate doesn't have one in the back? Mine does:

yes it is there, I never saw it during the install 6 years ago, I am red faced. Seems like all brands will work but I will stick to major brand. Thanks

No worries, it is difficult to see.
