Cayenne 2011 Hybrid Battery


HI All this is my first post, i own a 2011 hybrid cayenne with 31k on the clock... how can i figure out the life span or expectancy of the battery its self? porsche aren't being that helpful, other than telling me £8,000 plus labour wont be far wrong for a new battery, thats the last thing i want and need, does any one have any experience, stories or information or reliability that could offer some advice?

I love the car but because of the now 6 year old hybrid battery im wondering wether i should sell it and get a newer model.

thanks very much for your help.

In the US the warranty on the battery itself and maybe other certain hybrid specific components is extended, unfortunately i cant remember off the top of my head how long that was. If I remember correctly it was 7 years, maybe 10. Probably not common knowledge at the dealer level. You could try calling Porsche. That being said I wouldn't waste my time with the first gen cayenne hybrid. The hybrid capability is practically useless for the all the added complexity. Have you driven one before?
