On a 997.1 C4S
My battery is a DYNAMIC, 12V, 110 Ah, CCA 850 (SAE)
It's been on the car for five and a half years since July 2014.
I keep it on trickle charge every winter using a CTEK 5.0 and it usually ramps up from a low light (3 or 4) to full power (7) overnight and then the "top up" light ( 8 ) comes on and off intermittently. Never had any problems.
It's been like that for a couple of weeks and with it mostly in the (7) position, but now the number 8 light is 'permanently' on (couple of days now), so I assume always drawing power trying to top up the battery.
Does this mean the battery has come to the end of its useful life, or is it a case of suck it and see when I fire her up??
Anyone got similar experience and how did your battery fare, did you have to renew?
Thanks all....
