Just swapped out the 6 year old original battery and it could not be easier. I know there is a 50+ page battery discussion but the videos and registration information are buried in it and conflicting, but feel free to merge if needed.
This was for a '15 Macan Turbo equipped with Bose
Needed:
30mm torx bit
10mm wrench
13mm socket
Battery: 12V AGM, Size group H8, at least 92AH, OEM is 520 cold cranking amps.
Porsche Part: 958.611.092.21
I chose the Interstate MTX-49/H8 95AH as most do in the US. I am not a Costco member, but there are Interstate battery centers in my state. These have a great warranty.
Registration:
Your favorite tool - Autel, Foxwell Elite, PIWIS etc.
Sadly, I had durametric for the longest time which is useless for most things Porsche Macan.
I CAN CONFIRM the iCarSoft POR V2 (different than POR II) with software version 11.45 does register the battery! (A very cost effective tool). More on that later.
Optional Equipment:
External 12V source or battery charger.
Tightening specs:
Clamp support - 23NM
Terminal Clamps - 5NM
#1
(Optional and likely not recommended by Porsche)
Attach your external 12V source to the jumper posts under the hood to keep all your date.time and memory settings and to avoid having to reset windows, sunroof, steering angle, etc when done. I used an old BMW (CTEK) charger I had laying around.
Positive then negative on, negative then positive off.
