Default RAS cars are equipped with Lithium batteries?

My 2020 was, the 2024 has AGM.

Did things change?

RAS should be LiPo. You are in possession of a MY24 car with RAS and an AGM battery?

Yes.

Pulled the panel to install the charger and was surprised to see "AGM"

I feel like we’ve seen mislabeled cars before, but the other way around. Is that on the battery itself?

can you confirm your car has RAS installed

edit: configurator doesn't mention LiPo with RAS. perhaps it changed?

That's an AGM battery all right; confirmed with the part number. Something must have changed. Actual new info from a rennlist post is rare. Thanks OP.

Huh...that's very interesting and raises the possibility of cheaper replacement batteries just in case for those that develop failed LiFePO4 batteries.

Thanks.

I can post a pic of the window sticker, but it drives and corners very similarly to my 4S.

no problem.

Hopefully someone can help me find a fire extinguisher for my wife's anniversary present.

I have the mount, just need the Porsche fire extinguisher.

Someone was doing a group buy a few months ago in marketplace. They still came out to about $200 each.
