Porsche 718 Battery Replacement in Dubai

We fit Porsche 718 batteries where the car is — office parking, driveway, or the hard shoulder — and we test the charging system before we sell you anything.

Keeping a German car's battery alive through a Dubai summer

Coolant hoses and the water pump are the heat items; on air-cooled and early water-cooled cars the oil cooler lines are worth inspecting every service. For the battery specifically: park in shade where you can, drive far enough to actually recharge rather than only starting the car, and have it load-tested before summer rather than after. A battery that reads 12.4 volts at rest can still fail its load test, and the load test is the one that predicts the morning it does not start.

What kind of car this is, and why that changes the battery

The 718 is an SUV, so it carries a physically larger battery than a saloon of the same age and a heavier parked electrical load. That is not a detail — battery choice is driven as much by physical size, hold-down type and parked current draw as it is by cranking amps, and getting one of the three wrong is how a correctly-specified battery ends up failing early.

Which battery a Porsche 718 takes

AGM as standard, and cars that sit between weekend drives benefit from a maintainer — a Porsche that is used twice a month is a Porsche with a chronically undercharged battery. On the 718 specifically, which the vehicle database lists across model years 2016 to 2026, the safe approach is to read the label on the battery that is in the car now and match its group size, terminal side and capacity — or to give us the year and let us look it up.

Battery, alternator or starter on a 718

One loud click with bright dashboard lights is the starter. Rapid clicking with dimming lights is the battery or a corroded terminal. Starting fine and then dying while driving is the alternator. We test all three at the roadside before fitting anything, because replacing a healthy battery on a Porsche 718 with a failing alternator leaves you exactly where you started, two days later.

Questions we get asked

Does a Porsche 718 need AGM?

Very likely yes. Models from around 2014 onward with a start-stop system need AGM or EFB; fitting standard is a false economy that usually costs another battery within a year.
