Frequently asked questions

It depends on the generation and engine: there are 4 compatible batteries in total, from 70 to 85 Ah and 730 to 800 A of cold cranking. The best sellers for this model are Start-Stop battery Varta A7 Dynamic AGM 12V 70Ah 760A AGM, Start-Stop battery Varta A6 Dynamic AGM 12V 80Ah 800A AGM, Car battery Varta F18 Dynamic SLI 12V 85Ah 800A. With your plate we tell you the exact one in seconds.
Between 97.80 € and 160.45 €, VAT included, depending on capacity and technology (AGM, lead-acid, EFB). Start-Stop versions (AGM or EFB) sit at the top of the range because they withstand many more cycles.
By the registration year: Boxster Spyder II (2015-2016); Boxster Spyder I (2007-2011). 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.
It lasts only a few months: Start-Stop puts the battery through hundreds of cycles a day and a conventional battery cannot cope. The ECU may also disable the automatic stop function. Always fit EFB or AGM, the same technology as the original.
On most versions, yes: disconnect the negative terminal first, then the positive, release the clamp and fit the new battery in reverse order. On Start-Stop models or cars with battery management (BMS), register the new battery with a diagnostic tool so the ECU adjusts charging.

How to know which battery your Porsche Boxster Spyder takes

Easiest of all is the number plate lookup: those few characters tell us the precise variant, the engine and the original battery, so you need not check anything else.

You can also work it out yourself: find the registration date in the vehicle documents and locate it in the table. If the year overlaps two generations, the body style — hatch, estate or coupé — tells them apart.

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.

Start-Stop: which battery your Boxster Spyder needs

Start-Stop on the modern Boxster Spyder changes the rules: the battery takes hundreds of micro-cycles daily. The correct answer is EFB for basic systems and AGM where braking energy is recovered. Dropping to a conventional battery is the most expensive mistake you can make here.
