Do you replace your battery every 3 years?
There is no set age to replace a battery, too many factors influence it's life. You use a battery until it can no longer hold a charge. The battery isn't meant to run the car's electronics, it's meant to provide enough energy to spin the crank, provide enough spark and operate the fuel system until the car starts and the alternator can take over. There's nothing special about the Boxsters needs.
