Change History

The Porsche NA lady said that the newer cars with more electronic stuff were more demanding on the battery. For my model year (2012) she said life expectancy is 2-3 years (Wow). I had a 2008 and never had a problem so I wouldn't do any prep work on the possibility of your battery dying, just deal with it when and if it happens. The 800-Porsche road side assistance was on site in less than 15 minutes to get me started, then you can go get help from Porsche, Pep Boys or whatever.

I do not know what the computer impact is so maybe someone else can comment on that like Pedro.
