986 Battery Group

Bump for those looking for a battery.


Mine is in storage for the winter and when I checked it last week, it was still at 89% capacity, same as when I put it in. I need to charge it up full when I have more time there (off site, friends storage site). I did disconnect the battery.

I have a 2002 Boxter S that I need to replace the battery. I have researched several places and the MAXX-94R continues to come up. However, I cannot seem to find it. Did the model number change or is Wal-Mart no longer carrying this specific model?

Mine came up MAXX H6 for a 2003 S. There is certainly room for a bigger battery, but it works.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned Odessy batteries.

They can be drained down to 0 volts and recharged without damage.

A regular lead acid battery would lose a cell and be dead if you did this.

They also pack more cranking amps into a lighter and more compact battery, hence racers like them too.

I have them in Seadoos, boats and planes and they are awesome in every respect.

Next time I loose a car battery it will become an Odessy as well.

Thanks for the information and especially the link. I've been looking for direct links to batteries and can't seem to find them. The problem is the battery for my car is over $300. If I pay that much, I might as well have my dealer install it (because he's actually pretty reasonable). I was hoping to save a little and since so many people have raved about the Eversmart battery and the cost is around $100, I was wanting to go that route, but can't find the 94R that everyone says is the best option for my car.

94R is same as H7

Aha! That is exactly the information I was looking for. Thank you!

Lorin,
I plugged the info into the battery finder @ their web site & it came up with a Maxx-H6 and a Maxx-H7.
Evidently they changed the model # or supplier. According to what I could find the Maxx-H7 is a Group 94R battery.
Good Luck

H6, H7, etc. are DIN, i.e. European codes.
