Get the original Porsche battery... if you have an American or Japanese car I would say go to any place and grab a battery (ie costco, walmart, o'reily's, napa etc..)

If you have any German car (Porsche, BMW, Merc and even VW/Audi) go and buy the original battery...

ALL German cars from my personal experience and from what my mechanic says require more "crank" power from the battery. If you compare two batteries even of the same physical size/dimensions, one made for an American car and one made for a German car... the German made battery will be up to 50% heavier! Why? because the metal plates are thicker and there are typically more of them inside producing more crank power!

You get what you pay for! Don't go cheap when it comes to a German battery!
