## How to know which battery your Porsche 968 takes

The real shortcut is your registration number. It settles generation, engine and factory battery in seconds — exactly where most people get it wrong when buying.

Prefer to do it manually? Check the date of first registration on your V5C and match it against the generation table above. When a year straddles two generations, the body style decides it: five-door hatch, estate or coupé.

As a final check, look at the battery currently fitted: the label shows capacity (Ah) and cold cranking amps (A). Always replace with equal or higher figures, never lower, and keep the same dimensions and terminal layout.

## Frequently asked questions

### Which battery does a Porsche 968 take?
It depends on the generation and engine: there are 2 compatible batteries in total, from 72 to 74 Ah and 680 to 750 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Car battery Varta E38 Dynamic SLI 12V 74Ah 750A, Car battery Varta E43 Dynamic SLI 12V 72Ah 680A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.

### How much does a Porsche 968 battery cost?
Between 90.20 € and 90.20 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (lead-acid). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.

### How do I know which generation my 968 is?
By the registration year: 968 (1991-1995); 968 Convertible (1991-1995). If your year falls in the overlap between two generations, tell them apart by body type (hatchback, estate or coupé) or use the plate finder, which settles it with no doubt.

### How long does a Porsche 968 battery last?
Four to six years in normal use. Start-Stop batteries (AGM/EFB) tend to last a little less in city driving because of the number of restarts, but they are built for that cycling. If the car sits for weeks or cranks slowly in the cold, have it tested.

### Can I fit a higher-capacity battery to my Porsche 968?
Yes, as long as the dimensions fit the tray and the terminal layout matches. More Ah and more cold-cranking amps do not harm the Porsche 968: the alternator charges it just the same and you gain margin in winter. Never go below the original values.
