#TIDGEY Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Hi lads. Can anyone recommend a good battery ( Not a Halfords own ) with plenty of startup power Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 21, 2017 Share Posted January 21, 2017 Ended up going for a yuasa battery (from halfords) 580cca 5 year guarantee iirc, used a trade card and got it for about £45.Was looking for a solid cell race battery but they dont have a big reserve so alarms and radios will soon run them flat. The other option was optima or varley but i ended up being a cheap skate haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites

morgey Posted January 23, 2017 Share Posted January 23, 2017 I was wrong on the cca above.It was either this one 430ccahttp://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&categoryId=165762&langId=-1&productId=989419&storeId=10001Or this one 480ccahttp://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&categoryId=165762&langId=-1&productId=1305984&storeId=10001Im pretty sure i got the silver one, bearing in mind mines starting a 1.6l, it starts it no problem even after sitting a few weeks.Only thing is, mines got UK size terminals so if yours is an import you will need one with import terminals so maybe pop in and see if they have the removable rings or something.
