My 981 Boxster is a late 2012 build and has 57,000km. The car is showing symptoms similar to Guenter in that it occasionly shows voltages of 14.8 to 15v, and then drops back after some time to 13+/- while cruising. It started doing this last fall. I don't normally use auto stop, and store it for the winter on a maintainer.
My gut instinct is to keep driving and just keep an eye on it. Auto stop still works if I let it.

If you install the same type of battery with very close to the same specs you can just swap them.
Keep in mind that your battery is a GMA type battery. Look at the CCAs and get a match.
If you decide to go with a traditional (cheaper) lead-acid then you'll need the PIWIS to reprogram the alternator's charging characteristics and the DME's voltage controls.
Happy Boxstering,
