Actually, it is not strengths but rather the capacity of the battery. There is no harm in having a 90Ah battery if you only need 70, but it canbe annoying for a Cabrio owner if he has too little capacity.... Size and footing One important feature is that it has is the proper feet on it for the Porsche battery clamp. Optima red top. ~$100 (12-04-2004) x - don't make this any more - RED75/35 model Fits pefectly with stock battery clamp. 3 year free replacement and 7 yr pro rated. Can be found around $100 (Costco) or $120 (sears). Nothing has the cranking power of the optima. By far the best battery going. A big plus is you never need to worry about acid spilling and damaging the floor pan. I have had several optima batteries and seen them last upwards of 9 years, they also will recharge if you drain them unlike standard batteries. Autozone ~$60 (12-04-2004) Something like a 7 year warranty with first 2 years free replacement. One important feature is that it has is the proper feet on it for the Porsche battery clamp.
