Dead Battery

Hi, anyone have any tips or recommendations on replacing the battery?

After a long layover my battery is on it's way out. The manual shows the removal and install process as pretty simple. Requiring only the radio to be reset with a code.

please advise

Just buy a battery from Sam's Club or WalMart. Porsche's weighs over 50lbs and cost twice as much as other decent batteries.

I could be wrong, but I didn't think the '04 needed a Radio Code.
