Porsche Battery Warranty

[mffarrell]

Does anybody know what the warranty is on a battery for a 2003 996 that has 11 months left on the factory warrany? I called the dealer and he said that b/c I have such low milegae 9000 miles, the battery would not be covered.

I thought it was 4 years or 50K mi.?

Thanks!

I thought it was 12 months for batteries.

In the Warranty Book (page #10 and 11 for the 2006 987) it states:

Your Responsibility for Normal Vehicle Use

To be driven on reasonable road surfaces within legal speed limits. Porsche guidelines specify reasonable mileage to be at least 15 miles/24 km per day or 6,000 miles/9,600 km per rolling 12 months.

If you drive less than the above mentioned limits, or in the event of prolonged storage, contact your local authorized Porsche dealer for instructions.

NOTE: A battery maintainer is available at your local authorized Porsche dealer. It must be used to maintain your vehicles's battery state of charge if your vehicle will not be used for several days.
