Stopped by the dealer to get visual confirmation and hard copy of my 2011 GT3 order specs as it was entered into the system.

Noticed the code ZLB "lightweight battery" showing as a no-cost option with $0 next to it. I just want a normal battery for fear a lightweight one would not be as robust and retain a charge as long when garaged. The dealer claims they've never seen this option before and apparently it's different from the GT3 RS's $1700 lightweight Lithium Ion battery which has option code 191. They tried to remove the option and the system would not let them.

Any idea what this ZLB lightweight battery which I assume is not Lithium Ion is doing in my order? I guess it's standard equipment.

PET shows 4 batteries.
The last one (18AH) is the lightweight lithium battery (code I191) the others are regular batteries, different in amp/hours and slightly in weight. Which one goes in your car depends on the spec list and destination country; for example no a/c you get the smaller one etc.

With Porsche we know that once you see "cost zero", it's usually nothing important.

It's just that the GT3 and RS battery is a tad smaller than the Carrera battery.
Get the Lithium! : )

Besides which, if you order the lithium you get the std lead acid as well
