new battery?
hello my 98 turbo needs a new battery seen on a thread somewhere on here bosch s5 are very good for the money any ideas people also lighter than a halfords one if poss and a link to the correct one as i get so confused
|
Mine gave up the ghost over Xmas - cell no.5 knackered lol
RAC sold me their RAC006 OEM replacement. Got a 5-yr warranty (most have 3). Has top-of-the-tree amp-hours and cranking amps, apparently. Body is semi-translucent white with a light(ish) blue top. I think it's a VARTA jobbie (sold under licence by the RAC). http://www.racshop.co.uk/car-battery...l?VRN=t622+htx https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.sco...4fef623d64.jpg |
Thanks for the info went for the Bosch one in the end got good cca plus bout 2kg lighter than halfords one lol treat
|
Plus was only 78 quid
|
Cool. Was the Bosch's casing all black?
|
I have a new Bosch one I had to buy to start car that I'm selling for £50 collected.
(I have a micra battery but had to get terminal converters hence having to buy another battery at short notice) |
Busta, will it fit the Classic's battery tray/clamp & terminals? Is it all black casing?
Where are you in the country? |
No its all white/silver im in london even europarts do it cheap
|
My YUOSA was £60 odd. Same specs as the Bosch.
|
You got a link mate? Is it lighter than the halford ones?
|
Yuasa for me.

Where are you in the country? It all fits tray etc, but I'd say it's a bit short in height for the clamps to screw it down, the threads on clamp rods stop quarter of way so still a gap at top of battery. I've just shoved a silicone intake pipe to cushion it for now. I'm guessing if you have a battery top cover that should sort it or simlar. I'm in Wakefield/Huddersfield. The battery is at garage hu152rp and I'm going to nec Birmingham Saturday morning via m1 and m42 if that on route to meet. |
I've bought this battery http://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/252091203103 lightest one I could find without buying a oddesey.
You just need terminal converters from pencil post to normal post. |

This is where mine came from. It says free delivery if you buy 2+. I rang, paid online and got free delivery two days later. Halfords want £100 for the same battery. |
that Yuasa battery is like 20 kg

YUOSA is 15.7kg with acid, (many quote without).
It has CCA of 550A and a 5 year guarantee. As I said, Halfords want £100 for them:eek: |
As mentioned a heavy battery means more lead and better battery. Halfords is a dear hole go elsewhere.
