Car Batteries?? Which one
 

As a matter of great urgency, I have to buy a battery for the car tomorrow morning as I am going out tomorrow night and I dont want to be stranded, so I need to buy one in the morning to take it home and charge it ready for going out, what one am I looking for is there a certain type for performance cars, I know the Bosch one is good but I cant get to Costco, its got to be local (Cardiff) any advice cheers especially what type :thumb:

I find the black ones are best, try and get one with both a '+' and a '-' on it and you should be OK :thumb:

Failing that go to your local bloody motor factors and just ask :rolleyes:

HTH

I think I read that Halfords have a 10%discount on batteries at the mo:wonder:

^^^ Wot he said :)

I would offer to lend you my Halfords Trade card as well, but it will probably cost you more money in fuel to come and pick it up from me than you'll save on the battery :D

It's OK, I'm going now :lol1:

Heavy Duty 110AMP 12 Volt Leisure Battery - sunshinesolar.co.uk

this is heavy duty

And he will need his wagon just to carry it around:lol1:

if he buys a solar panel it will never go flat unless its parked
in a dark garage:wonder:

Sounds like im getting picked on, :confused: :Suspiciou Ive noticed on other threads they are mentioning different kinds for performance cars, I thought I would just clarify on here which ones would be best, I know its black with a plus and a minus, crickey its like being back in the playground again :nono: :razz: :lol1:

the simple answer to you question is Russ what? additional products are you running on car which will need a bigger battery I.E amps, lights incar systems
if you are using a lot of power you will need a uprated altenator to cope with charging

or if you only use car on weekends buy a optimiser which will keep you battery in top condition.i use this on my motorbikes and keeps battries a1

Cheers, the car is only used on weekends so that answers a question I didnt even think to ask, thanks for that one. Its just a basic WRX with PPP no other bits apart from a XCS Positive Charge System to aid the stabilization of the electronics of the car.

the battery is losing charge thourgh the week and the less you use batteriy the quicker they fail unless the have a charging system to keep it in good condition

bike batteries only last 1 year if you lucky with the alarm draining the system
so you have to keep it on a optimiser which discharges and recharges the battery :thumb:

[QUOTE=milf hunter;6586413]Cheers Milf, it is used on weekends but only for short trips so I suppose thats where my problems rise from, lack of use. Is this optomiser an add on and could I get these at these battery places?
