The OE Match Upper Battery Cover is a replacement upper cover for the battery installation used on early Porsche 911 and 912 models.
Fits:- Porsche 911 / 912 - 1965 to 1968
Diagram Ref No 2
Positioned over the battery within the front luggage compartment battery assembly, the cover provides the correct upper enclosure and protective finishing component around the battery.
It is particularly suitable for classic Porsche restoration projects where the original battery cover is missing, cracked, distorted, deteriorated or has been replaced with an incorrect non-original-style component.
The battery cover works together with the surrounding battery installation, including the lower battery tray or cup and retaining strap, to recreate the original factory-style arrangement.
Although the cover does not secure the battery by itself, it helps protect the upper battery area and provides an important finishing detail within the early 911/912 front luggage compartment.
What This Product Does:
The Upper Battery Cover fits over the top of the battery as part of the original battery installation.
Its main functions are to:
- Cover the upper surface of the battery.
- Help shield the battery terminals and upper battery area.
- Reduce accidental contact with exposed battery components.
- Help protect the battery from loose objects and debris.
- Complete the original battery enclosure arrangement.
- Improve the appearance of the front luggage compartment.
- Restore the factory-style battery installation.
- Replace a missing, cracked or damaged original cover.
Symptoms Of Wear Or Failure:
As this is a protective component rather than a moving mechanical part, typical signs of failure are physical deterioration rather than mechanical malfunction.
Common symptoms include:
- Cracks.
- Splits.
- Broken edges.
- Missing sections.
- Distortion.
- Warping.
- Loose fitment.
- Damage around mounting or contact points.
- Chemical staining.
- Battery-acid damage.
- Surface deterioration.
- Previous poor-quality repairs.
- Incorrect replacement cover.
- Cover completely missing.
Why Replacement Matters:
Replacing a damaged or missing Upper Battery Cover helps restore:
- Protection around the battery.
- Coverage of the upper terminals.
- Correct battery-compartment appearance.
- Factory-style component layout.
- Reduced chance of accidental contact with battery terminals.
- Proper restoration detail.
- Cleaner front-luggage-compartment presentation.
