Can anyone give me the name of a decent car battery I can purchase for my 2008 Impreza ?. It’s died on me and it’s the first time I’ve had to buy one for it, so I don’t want any old
crap if I can help it.

 

Yuasa is what I have used in mine, very good battery indeed. This is the one you would need.

cheers mate. I’ve been having to keep jump starting it the last 3 days. I’ll drive it out the garage, switch off, then start her up again after I’ve locked my garage, but I’d have to jump start her again. Does it sound like a battery problem to you buddy ?. I did take her for a 40 min drive last night to get some charge in it, but it was very sluggish again when i switched her off and start her again to put it in the garage.

 

have yuasa mentioned above ,5y warranty from tayna👌

 

What voltage are you getting once charged?

 

+1 for the Yuasa

A good guide to battery condition...................

 

I always use Bosch.

 

Another vote for Yuasa.
I use nothing else now.

 

it was terrible! I was getting 10.72 and it was dropping. I’ve bought a yuasa now

 

Plus buy a Ctec trickle charger and reconditioner. Battery warranties aren't worth the paper they are written on, so read the small print......I know having had 6 spec c size batteries in 6 years, including Bosch and Yausa.

 

ok cheers mate . I’ll take a look now

 

And another vote for the C-Tek.
There are others but it's worth the outlay.

 

if daily do not bother with ctek
