Re: 981 Battery replacement
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.
