Default Lithium battery in a NON-RWS 992

I've got a Porsche lithium battery 992.915.105 in my "only steers with the front wheels" 992.

That surprised me, given all the chatter about RWS on this forum.

Looked up the p/n and see it's ~$250 for this battery, not $2500 as the RWS threads discuss. Can someone confirm it's a different p/n ?

Anyone know whether the same "drive 6000 miles/yr or we won't warranty it" conditional applies to the battery in my vehicle?

Also, when I picked up the vehicle (from Porsche dealer - CPO car) he showed me the battery and described jump starting (and displaced NEG terminal). No mention of needing any other special approach to jump starting.

Thats an AGM. They put the wrong hold down on at the factory. Looks exactly like my AGM. If you looked up the part# on the battery and it's 250, that serves as your confirmation.

That's one of the more interesting factory screw-ups I've seen. harmless but obviously wrong.

Lithium battery below. Note the LINBUS cable at the bottom left of the photo. Battery Management System for an AGM battery is external and usually found at the neg post. For Porsche LiPo, BMS is built in.
