Replacing the Battery
Only use an original Porsche battery, with the
correct part number, as a replacement.
The data on the battery casing are not sufficient
to determine a comparable battery which will
meet all the specifications laid down by Porsche .
Please ob s erve the regulat i ons for dispo s ing of
used batteries .
Important:
Protect the battery from sources of fire such
as naked flames, burning cigarettes, sparks
caused by electrical wiring or welding etc.
There could otherwise be an explosion due
to gases produced during charging.
In the case of batteries with central venting
there is an increased concentration of explo-
sive gas at the end of the vent hose. The
vent hose must not be kinked or blocked .
Be careful not to allow conductive jewelry
such as rings , necklaces, watchstraps etc .
to come into contact with live parts of the
car . There is a danger of injury due to short-
circuits.
Should battery acid be spilled onto clothing,
skin or parts of the vehicle, it should be im -
mediately neutralised by a soda solution
and/or plenty of water.
Should battery acid be splashed into some-
one's eyes, rinse the eyes out with cold
water for several minutes and consult a doc -
tor.
