How can I protect my Porsche 911 battery?

Where is the battery on a Porsche Carrera?
That was a new experience for me–don’t forget your ground strap! The battery is located in the front trunk compartment on the Carrera. Turn the plastic tie-downs to remove the black plastic cover (yellow arrows). Always disconnect the black colored negative or ground connection first from the battery post (green arrow).

What should the voltage be on a Porsche Carrera battery?

Is it possible to damage a Porsche battery?
The Porsche dealer can look this code up for you if you don’t have it, but that can be a huge pain, and most dealers will charge you for the service. Leaving your lights on in your car can seriously damage the battery. Automotive batteries are not typically deep-cycle batteries, which means they do not like to be fully discharged.
