I have an Impreza Hawkeye WRX 2007.

The battery has died on my car. What is the best battery to get?

Halfords want £100 for a crappy Halfords battery for my car.

Ideally want to pick it up today. Bosch is a good option? right?

 

Do you know anyone with a trade card for halfrauds ? Only they get some good discount on things like car batteries, every little helps and all that.

 

Varta

 

if going for Bosch. You need an S4 024 BATTERY which is 540A(en)60Ah

Think they go for about £60-£70 at eurocarparts

 

Is it not an S4 005?

 

Think I may get this.

Any reason against it?

 

no its defo an S4 024 battery.

 

Euro Car Parts say its the 005 battery using my reg number.

 

click on that 005 one in the link and enlarge the pic of the battery. Will turn out to be the 024 battery. dunno why its listed as 005. Also if you go on www.carparts4less.com which is also run by eurocarparts the price is less

 

This is the issue with my car! It did this about 10 days ago, after 10mins of leaving it though it managed to start. Since then I have used to car every day (least twice a day to and from work) Yesterday I didnt use the car at all, so over 36hours with not using it, I think this is 100% the dead battery. Would you agree?

 

I hate to say this, but I think that you are incorrect, the Internet seems to have a different opinion. The Internet seems to think that a 005 battery is spot on!

Here is my findings.

 

005 is the correct battery. Some makes will use 3005. The 005 is the important bit. Its a very common battery for jap cars

 

So Evo son, was wrong. As I was hoping, as I had already ordered the varta 005 today.

 

I might have been wrong then. This is the info I got from the bosch battery catalogue website

 

Just phoned eurocarparts and gave them that part no. 444770057 and they said its a bosch 024 battery

 

i think that might be the case

 

The 005 battery was spot on by the way. Perfect car again now!

 

Seems both fit then

Either way we both have fully working batteries

 

Think i'm go for this for my classic

Really, whats the battery code? I've been disappointed with my last Bosch, but one before was great.
