DIY Battery Replacement – Porsche Cayenne Turbo (955 & 957)

DIY Battery Replacement – Porsche Cayenne Turbo (955 & 957)

Step by Step guide to replacing the battery in a 2004-2010 Porsche Cayenne, including required tool list. A 2008 Cayenne Turbo is used in the video. Parts & tool list is below:

Required Tools:
Flat Head Screwdriver
10mm Socket
T25 Torx Bit
10mm XZN Triple Square Bit http://amzn.to/2bKpzVP

* Note: In the video I say I used an H8 battery, as is recommended on most online battery configurators. I later realized I was actually given an H9 battery, and that is the correct size for this vehicle. An H8 is the same height and width, but the length is shorter than an H9. An H8 will fit, but the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) are typically lower than an equivalent H9 battery.

I used an AutoCraft Platinum AGM Group H9/95R Battery http://bit.ly/2cuWBXz

I figured why you got Andrew to pop the cover clips, he has little hands lol.
Any ideas? Two days ago my audio/phone hangup/pickup button on the steering wheel stopped responding… The Tiptronic and steering illumination buttons all work as do wiper, cruise and indicator stalks. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

NOTE ON BATTERY SIZE: In the video I say I used an H8 battery, as is recommended by most automotive retailer online battery configurators. I later realized that even though I ordered an H8, I was actually given an H9 battery, and that is the correct size for this vehicle. An H8 battery is the same height and width as H9, but the length (the longest dimension of the battery) is shorter. An H8 will fit, but the Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) are typically lower than an equivalent H9 battery. The minimum recommend CCA for this vehicle is 850CCA, and anything above that is gravy. Most H9 batteries put you at 900CCA +. I recommend the H9 size, as long as it's available in your area.

Hey there I like your video! I just have one question: how do you adjust the seat first forwards and then backwards electrically if the battery is empty? My battery is completely empty nothing is working. Is it possible to change the battery if you cannot adjust the seat forward and backward?

Great video, especially with your kid helping. Teach him early! Is your fire extinguisher a factory fit? Also, the physical size of that replacement looked smaller than the one you took out?
