Default Is this the original battery?

Hi Everyone, do you think this is the original battery or is there a date code on it somewhere that I'm missing? I've owned it for a year and am the 2nd owner. Thanks, Ralph

Negative terminal has a date stamped on it, 25/13 I think?

Date stamped is in Week/year format, in your case 25th week of 2013

No, this is not likely the battery your car came from Germany with (if the sticker on the battery is accurate/correct). Porsches are delivered with a battery from the factory (there would be no dealer no. attached.) This battery was delivered to a dealership and likely installed thereafter.

Rporzio, can you take a close-up pic of the date stamp on the negative battey terminal? Can't tell if it's a "13" or "18".
