I have an 01 S and I wondering if it is a battery issue or alternator or.... issue. Basically, if I run errands in the Boxster when I get in the car and start it, it strains to start. It does start on the 1st try but... It does not happen when I start it for the first time of the day or when it has sat for a few hours. I have also charged the battery overnight and it took a full charge, but it still had issues starting after I did that. I think it is not the battery since it starts fine in the morning and maybe it is the alternator? Any suggestions?

Have them check it. If over 5 years, expect to replace. I have the autozone brand in my cars and they have been fine. Get the gold or whatever the best version is. I think it goes to warranty, but...

The cars do seem to burn through batteries in my experience. I assume because of downtime? But I cannot guess.]]> JM-Stamford,CT Main ForumMon, 10 Jul 2023 14:30:10 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56599#msg-56599 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56599#msg-56599 mikefocke, '01S Sanford, NC Main ForumFri, 07 Jul 2023 20:15:51 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56598#msg-56598 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56598#msg-56598 carlos in Montreal Main ForumThu, 06 Jul 2023 05:06:49 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56597#msg-56597 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56597#msg-56597 Michael SYS Driver Main ForumWed, 05 Jul 2023 17:35:51 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56596#msg-56596 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56596#msg-56596 SMILIN Main ForumWed, 05 Jul 2023 14:18:34 -0400 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56595#msg-56595 https://pedrosboard.com/read.php?7,56595,56595#msg-56595
