My battery is struggling in the cold weather now, so I want to get a new one.

Obviously being Christmas in a few days mail order won't work too well. I've got a Halfords trade card, so was going to get one from there.....which is the best they do for my car? Any make/model/part number?

My car is a MY03 STi UK.


Cheers

 

HCB005 Fitted to my 53reg uk sti.

 

Is that part of the Silver range?

 

Oh no, that looks like a Halfords own make. Are the Bosch better?

 

My dad fetched me a heavy duty battery from Halfords when mine died nearly 2yrs ago.The man said it was what they recommend for the cars.Mine is an 05 STi Type UK.Sorry can't check it at moment cos bonnet iced up big time,lol.To date it has never let me down

 

I got a calcium battery from Halfords - it was a few pounds more then the heavy duty one but meant to be better - been good for me so far.. i too ain't got a code but when getting mine the people that work their helped me out to find the correct one with their online computer system.

 

HCB005 is the Halfords own HD Calcium battery, comes with a 4-year warranty.

£89.99 or £59.99 with a trade card, got one yesterday for a mate and I've had one for 2 or 3 years and it's not missed a beat

 

Halfords don't make batteries, the hcb005 is made by Yuasa and badged Halfords.
Yuasa are very very good.

dipster

 

Yep, the HCB005 is fine for me too. 2nd winter, no problems.

 

Just bought s5005 from costco for £58
Priced the hb005 from halfords £59 calcium and £50 for normal one, with trade card

 

I paid £89 for a battery from Halfords some years ago which kept going flat after a few months of owning. Like a git i threw away the receipt so they then declined a replacement even though they knew i brought it from there. I then brought a heavy duty battery from somewhere else which is still in the car.

 

Bosch silver range are good batterys.

 

Aye we cant do anything with it unless you have a receipt to prove when you have purchased it... it just gets sent straight back to us if no receipt is provided when we send it back to Yuasa for diagnostics / recycle.

 

Cool, cheers guys.

Will pop along and pick one up

 

Got catcium battery Halfords ,it is very good

Ditto! lol. Halfords Calcium here too. Although no trade card for me

 

+1
Had one of these fitted to my last MY05 STI - never let me down.
And with a 4 year guarantee into the bargin

 

Had the Halfords one in my car for about a year. Starts first time even in the minus 5 or 6 degree conditions. Factory fitted batteries are pants.
