battery price ?

924 's'

what should I be paying for a 'budget' battery ? and where from ?

Wifey's has started to stop starting !
It's been playing up for the last 5 winters , but now finally decided it's had enough off being out in the cold.

I'm in Coventry, looking for somewhere local.

oh ... and last time I bought a battery is was lead - and acid !
now I'm seeing calcium - silver - gel - ...... wot's all that about then

Rich

oops !.

I bought one from Halfrauds - about a tonne in price, easy to go pick up from and get going - that or find your nearest motor factors (I have an S2 so got something with a little more juice than the original). I bought a calcium one, HCB096 with a four year guarantee.

Good luck!

Thanks, but I was hoping to spend about half that !

a good old fashioned lead acid has been good enough so far .

I always go to the scrappy and ask for one off a diesel....I pay £10-15

now there's an idea !

what about physical size ? with our low profile bonnets ?

Rich

Measure the one you got, a scrappy should have plenty to choose from

something like a small diesel will have a small and powerful battery, but I measure and I have a rubber pad on top of battery.

hmmm.... Alternator light came on yesterday....

now it might not need a battery so bad

I'll start another thread for the alternator...
