Yeah, that's what I figured. I've retrofitted PSE and X73 on a cayman before, but they come as comprehensive kits from Porsche.
That said, glancing through the parts catalog, it seems that only the charger and the socket w/ cable are listed as different between the 3.6kW and 7.2kW versions. Seemingly no difference in the battery or anything else.
Not really a system I want to mess around with, though.

im less worried about it functioning (it will probably “just work”) vs porsche using it as an excuse to decline any warranty issues on the 8 year/100k battery warranty claim

it could be just a swap - charger i believe is drivers side rear quarter panel cavity - battery shouldn’t care

Last thing I'd want to mess around is electronics and Porsche! LOL. Best thing I can say is trade the car IF the faster charger system is most important! Otherwise the difference between charging in the two the 3.6kW and 7.2kW versions should not be much or that significant.
