Used to use my car daily but bought a 'station / supermarket' car in Dec and now only use it once per week. Never had a battery issue until yesterday. Car started fine though battery did seem a little weak. Drove for approx 15 miles and later that day it wouldn't turn over the engine.

Guess I need a new battery and hope it's not an alternator issue. 2 questions:

1) What power battery do I need for my 2002 Targa abd should I get a more powerful one than the Porsche standard item - think it's 70amps?

2) Doing a search I read that Costo did good prices on Bosch Silver; anyone know if they still sell them?

Thanks
