There have been various discussions elsewhere recently regarding starting problems in the winter, to which 911s seem particularly prone.
I' m not sure what causes the problem in 911' s, perhaps the enormous clock takes a larger than average current, certainly the essential alarm takes a small current, but any small drain over an extended period is going to cause a problem.
A battery contioner, such as Airflow or Optimate, costs about £35 and cures most problems.
However if the battery is already on it' s last legs then the replacement spec. itself should be considered. Not being a 964 owner, I don' t know the correct spec for the battery, but certainly for the previous models the standard battery 66AH , with a 88AH option. The price of a good quality 88Ah battery with a good Cold Cranking Amperage is not much more than a tank of fuel (about £85) and a 60Ah cost about £60
