Bought a battery.... Porsche tax evaded.

went to pickup my car from the dealer after the variocam solenoid was replaced. told me battery was completely fried and it was $370 to replace. Had them boost me and drove to advance auto here in NY. Replaced with their top line battery (~800 CCA) for 179.

I lined the two up together (porsche OEM and the advance) before reinstalling and they are IDENTICAL batteries. Even the plastic molded case that the cells sit in are the same. Just FYI....
