No it is not too early for the stock Battery to die. In fact, it is just about right. They last 2-4 yrs at best!

Buy a new one at Auto Zone for under $100.

Good luck.

SP7... My 01 needed a jump when I picked it up at the dealer in CT. (...my wife loved that! Damn good thing the car was more handsome than Brad Pitt..)

It only had 15k on it, but months of resting between Porsche leashing and my driving it 5hrs. home. DieHard/Sears has a $100 battery with the proper drain fitting and it's a 10min refit. Better have your radio codes tho - or no tunes, nada!

Yes, good point that I failed to mention!
