In this video I replace the battery in my 911. Porsche recommends reprograming the car for the new battery, however we are not doing that. We’ll see how the performers and if there is any difference in the life span. Below are the links for the tools I used to maintain power to the car while removing the battery.

Great video Sir! Was there any vent hose on the original battery?

Porsche just wants you to take it to them, just keeping 12 volts on the wiring system should fool the car about a new battery.
I am watching your video just now. I have two of their cars and I have worked on one of them and both have been several times to Porsche OPC…the stealers. In what concerns batteries: I have both cars permanently connected to CTEKs and I have been able even to rescue to full capacity one of theLiFePO4 batteries that had 'died' – the Porsche OPC who sold me the car new never told me that the battery of my second Porsche would not charge through the cigarette lighter (the poor service from the stealers…) and whilst I thought the battery was at full charge when I went to drive the car the battery had gone and it was a challenge to bring it back to life as all I was told was 'you have got to buy a new one". But replacing batteries has never a problem and never a need to reset anything. These OPCs will slick their hands with our money if we let them to
Hi Bob sent you a question a while back but have not heard back from you. Where did you get that power supply that plugs in where the OBD plug is.
Thank you.

Florida eats batteries. Based on my experience, three years is great if you have your car outside and 5 is really great if you garage.
I just changed the battery after 7yrs on my 911 ts. Did it without keeping the power on and everything was fine. Thanks for the video. But the supplier from the Berner brand, plugged the obd2 and reprogrammed the settings for me.
All good .. but you did not register the new battery type, bar code , battery capacity or battery serial number or part number .. this essential for optimum performance & battery life & charging system that control module integrity..
very nice!!
Is this a lithium battery
By the way, keep an eye on the battery voltage. You can select a Voltmeter for the Multi-Function Display. Voltage should not go above 14.9V and then when it is cold out and lower as the temperature increases. There is a voltage vs temperature chart for AGM batteries. East Penn has one in their technical manual PDF that you can download. See page 11. http://www.eastpenn-deka.com/assets/base/0139.pdf
14:54 Actually, you put the Negative cable on last. This way you cannot short the Positive to ground as you are swinging a wrench or ratchet on the nut of the Positive cable. And when removing the terminals, you remove the Negative first.
What is the exact battery you used as replacement?
What is the component directly in front of the battery? Mine seems to be making a clicking noise? Thx!
You should remove the negative first. And the positive first on a new battery.
Pull off the GROUND (negative) cable first. Then you're not at risk of shorting anything. Then you don't have to put rubber gloves on the end of the cable.
It's not about being anal; it's about doing it correctly and safely.
When re-connecting, obviously, connect the ground cable last.
try antigravity batteries ,much better in life and wight.
