Dead battery

I just get in the frunk and lift it out. It's just a battery. If you can remove a rear wheel you should be able to lift a battery out of the compartment.
I only use AGM batteries. My next battery in the 997s will be the new Optima Yellow top H6. Currently I have red top 34Rs or R34s in them.

Batteries are consumables. All is good. You didn't have the dealer do it = BIG $$$ cost avoidance, you did it yourself so you know it was done right, and best of all it won't need a new one for at least 4 years.

if you really want to know if the old battery has life left in it, just ask the costco folks to perform a load test on it. It takes only a minute or two.
When I recently swapped out my 7.5 year old wet cell battery, it was charging fine and indicating 12 volts. I did a quick starter test for voltage and did not like what I saw.
My tester and autozone's tester showed the same thing. Voltage normal, load test really bad.
