Battery
A
This vehicle is equipped with a 12-volt lithium bat-
B
tery (LiFePO
), the properties of which differ to

WARNING
E
Touching conductive parts of the vehicle can give
F
you an electric shock. Working on the vehicle's

electrical system can cause a short circuit. The short
circuit can cause a fire. Many automotive fluids are

e Always disconnect the negative terminal on the
battery when working on the electrical system.
The 12-volt lithium battery is located under a sepa-
rate cover in the vehicle floor in front of the pas-
senger's seat.
The 12-volt lithium battery is automatically discon-
nected from the vehicle electrical system if the bat-
tery charge condition is low. The electrical system is
deactivated temporarily. When the battery is

charged (for at least 10 minutes) or when emer-
gency starting or connection to an external power
and toxic gas
supply take place, the electrical system is automati-
cally reactivated. The 12-volt lithium battery is au-
tomatically connected to the vehicle electrical
supply again.

NOTICE
Consult the Manual
Wear protective goggles
Risk of explosion
Fire, sparks, naked flames and smoking
are prohibited
Avoid sparking and short circuits when
handling cables and electrical devices.
Risk of chemical burns
Electrolyte fluid is highly corrosive: wear
safety gloves and eye protection.
First aid
If electrolyte fluid splashes into your eye,
rinse immediately for a few minutes with
clean water. Immediately seek medical
attention from a doctor. If electrolyte
fluid splashes onto your skin or clothing,
neutralize immediately with soapsuds
and rinse with plenty of water. If you ac-

tion point.
Never dispose of old batteries as house-
hold waste.
Always have maintenance work carried
out by qualified technicians
Never attempt to replace the battery
yourself. Only have the lithium battery of
this vehicle replaced with a lithium bat-
tery explicitly intended by Porsche for
this vehicle. The use of other lithium or
lead-acid batteries results in significant
malfunctions including total failure of
the electrical system.
Always have the battery replaced by an
authorized Porsche dealer. Porsche rec-
