Battery question
Cayman 2018 GTS:
car has been running just fine.
but i have never really checked battery before.
out of curiosity i checked voltage of battery when car sitting : voltage only reads bout 12.23 volts.
cars start just fine.
when car is running : voltage on the display reads 14.4 volts (which to me means the Alternator is working fine??)
My question is this voltage of 12.23 volts sitting there when engine not running ok or is sign that. it is time to buy new battery?
thank you

For most cars that’s normal and I don’t see why it would be any different for the 718. By a CTEK charger to maintain the battery and it will last many years.
