I got a line on a new Optima Orange Top $90.00, I don't belong to costco and the shipping charge on this is only 13.00,, so I think I'm gonna go that route.

At WEVO we have done a 911 Battery box in molded fiberglass that goes into the aircon cavity.
We searched high and low for a suitable battery, as the molding and clamp are specific to the shape of the battery. We elected to go with this one, made in CA, gel, very inexpensive and plenty of power for any of the applications most Porsche users would have. http://www.teammiata.com/TM420.htm The battery weighs 23.5 lb and we have a billet clamp machined for the lateral groove in the top of the battery that could be used in other applications if that is of interest to anyone. regards Hayden PTBT |

i have read somewhere ( pp911bbs) that the fosgate ( robert, the punch? ) is just a renamed battery with the price jacked up to sell at sound shops. i'm not sure if it is a optima or what. shop around you might be able to get the exact same thing at a cheaper price.
