New battery help?
 
Which battery do I need for my 05 uk widetrack? And which do you guys recommend?

I usually go for a bosch s3/s4/s5 on my vag cars but not too sure for the blob?

I really rate the YUOSA batteries, long guarantee, and cheap enough off the internet, Halfords want £100.

Mine was off t'internet, YUOSA 5005, 5 years guarantee.
Helllfrauds wanted £100. I paid just over £60 delivered within two days.

BOSCH S5 for me, very good cold cranking and a 5 year warranty. I paid 60 Inc vat for mine in a local motor factor.

jonnyboy82 25 November 2015 10:34 PM

Im still waiting for someone to comfirm whether its an 005 type or a 024 type battery?

**jay** 25 November 2015 10:47 PM

Mine has 024 stamped on it.

alcazar 26 November 2015 09:19 AM

Mine's an 005, hence the YUOSA designation, 5005

jonnyboy82 27 November 2015 08:48 PM

I went for a bosch s4 in the end as I managed to pick one up from my local ecp. With the black friday discount code I got it for £59.

bustaMOVEs 27 November 2015 09:10 PM

005 is correct.
I went for 054 Nissan micra battery, weight saving FTW. Without the drawbacks of oydessey

jonnyboy82 27 November 2015 09:20 PM

I bought the 005 although the bosch battery says 024 on it too?

alcazar 28 November 2015 11:14 AM

I think the codes are interchangeable, one is Bosch, the other someone else's code for same battery.
