Get yourself a big Bosch bastard

I think so, I've had mine for about 4 years, 3 engines, 5 gearboxes and 1 restoration


Bosch Silver Top

 

OK, where is best to get one, seriously ?

 

I got mine from a motor factors/ Bosch dealer. There are two sizes I think. I have the bigger one from more power urgh urgh urgh!!!

 

Was only about £40 too

 

Bargain!

If you want the daddy, get Optima yellow top battery, red top good aswell



thats for cars running serious voltage

 

Thanks....they the sort of batterys car's with serious ICE use? Don't have any sounds, well a headunit, that's it

 

i got mine from kwikfit,pre charged,45quid,4 year garrantee,heavy duty,(tho looked flimsey to me)lasted a year ,with my alarm and battery optimate on constant,so back it went,(4year garrantee),give me a beast ,extra heavy duty,4yr garrantee,alls well so far? did i mention the garrantee? 4 years? no less>

 

OK, bringing this back to the top....

Not too keen on a Ford Motorcraft item So went to the local motor factors and they only sell Excide Battery's. Are these any good?

Anyway I got one coming tomorrow - Heavy Duty, 4yr Guarantee pre charged as above for £45.

Halfrauds wanted £65 for thier own version of the above

 

Personally as far as batteries go spend as much as you can afford to, as with everything you get what you pay for, the Calcium batteries are EXCELLENT, and go for a good make. As for size that all depends on what you have on the car, if yu have a big sound system get a bigger one, the battery i run on mine fills the try litterally, completely covers the holes for the side clamp, can only fit the front clamp I'f you dont have a mental sound system get a normal size one, its all extra weight, and especially with escort battery trays the less weight on them the better

 

Shut up and stop buying cheap crap you wanker

 

optima yellow top mate , pukka batteries , can recharche 5 times quicker and are capable of a complete discharge x 40 before its dead

 

I didnt realise the audio batteries had all those benefits Definately a good thing, how much are they?

 

I'm guessing they are around £150 - £200 odd quid by the looks of things, although they do sound good.

TBH, I dont have any sounds, just a head unit and standard speakers. So think it will be overkill.

 

It's still usefull though, having such a quick re-charge rate and also being able to be flattened, car batteries don't like being flattened and as such aren't meant to be, so when they do it quite often ruins them. If its not too much more it would be a good buy IMO.
