wirthO Posted 17August, 2023 Report Share Posted 17August, 2023 Unfortunately, my recently purchased lightweight battery doesn't work in my GT4RS. Previously was in my 981 GT4. Have put it up for sale on EBAY, link below. The battery is from March 2022, further details on EBAY link. Happy to sell direct and not through EBAY, make me an offer if keen. The battery only weighs 6kg versus an acid lead battery which is generally 20-25kg!!!

sjm Posted 17August, 2023 Report Share Posted 17August, 2023 That’s interesting, I bought your GT4RS battery and when I was selling my car Buiks, who did a ppi, said that battery (AGM) wasn’t suitable for my car (997) either. Went to my local battery distributor (Modbury batteries) and he said it was a load of b:#¥*$@t. Didn’t know who to believe on that one. Buiks said something about alternator wouldn’t charge it properly. Was that the issue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buiks said something about alternator wouldn’t charge it properly. Was that the issue? well the new AGM battery was extremely expensive for a acid lead battery! I was very surprised! Nearly cost as much as the lithium iron battery! I am just going with what Porsche Germany are stating for now. Essentially the battery cannot communicate to the car correctly. I am back out on the track next week, so let’s see how we go. 53 minutes ago, 911CSR said: Older car I know however I've got a Lithumax in my 996.2 and never had an issue with it... Yup I was very happy with the battery and the service from Lithiumax. Unfortunately it’s not working in the 4rs. sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just found this article which explains it best. Message number 5. I need a higher amp battery. https://rennlist.com/forums/718-gts-4-0-gt4-gt4rs-spyder-25th-anniversary/1249451-light-weight-battery-options.html sjm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
