Hi, i need some advice, i own a 06 STI, the battery on my car seems to be turning over quite slow, it's being doing it for a while and got slightly worse in the cold weather.

I'm going to fit a new battery.

What i was wondering is STI fitted with a lighter than normal Battery as standard? and if so where would i get one from?
I think main dealer would quite expensive.

Any help would be appreciated, Cheers Paul.

 

i brought a bosch battery for my classic from

www.buypartsby.co.uk for £54 delivered. 4 years warrenty as well

 

www.advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk

I just got a Varta Blue battery from them..

free delivery too

 

Bosch all the way

 

How did you pay that Im getting quotes of £67 + £7.50 delivery for thr Bosch battery.

 

Bosch batteries were quite poor for the Ford models are they better for the Impreza then?

 

I've been looking at the prices for Bosch Got £67.99 inc VAT And Delivery so far.

I had an Exide battery at the beginning of the year but that gave up the ghost after 5months

Replaced it with the Bosch and no problems (yet)

Tried a battery CHARGER before you swap the battery? It might just want a boost.

 

Last time round i brought a calcium battery for my Scooby from halfords - there pricey but really good, specially if you like to have loads of electrical goodies in the car.

 

That's a good idea I'll give that a try, cheers.

 

My battery just gave up on my 04, bought a new one from my local motor factors. Cost me £56 for a heavy duty one, much more reasurring to get a new battery, when a battery dies on me, i just replace, dont like the idea of trying to charge an old battery. Piece of mind just for me

 

got mine from euro parts, the bosch super blue. cost me £54, and probably the best battery you can buy.
