New battery recommendations?


Recommended Posts

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

Motor factors type 54, had one for years and its never faulted, even when ive left it for months at a time quick jumpstart, drive a mile and it holds a charge. Theyre small aswell with import terminals.

Cant seem to find them ones online Dan mate

I was wrong on the cca above.

It was either this one 430cca

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&categoryId=165762&langId=-1&productId=989419&storeId=10001

Or this one 480cca

http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductMobileDisplay?catalogId=10151&categoryId=165762&langId=-1&productId=1305984&storeId=10001

Im 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.
