Know what you are saying. I've got my wife a mains one now. Brilliant but every time she uses it the street lights noticeably dim...

Can these be used on other items than just cars?

My wife goes through loads of batteries and this may save money!
God knows what she does with them all?

​Wooooooooosh

It's too cold to go out and check my battery size so I've got it anyway.

This is going flaming :smiley:

Been having to buy a battery per year for the wife's Mazda 5. This fits and just saved me about £30 :smiley:

Heat++

Will this be OK for any size car? I've got a Honda Civic...

No idea if the one I've just got is any good lol

I've just checked and the deal battery tray size and its bigger than the one for my car but I'm sure I can sell it with £10 profit.

Could just buy a battery charger, a decent battery with a 5 year warranty or get the car fixed :confused:

The CCA on that battery is limp !

Checked, my 4 year old Exide battery (currently £62 del) is a 760 A CCA, versus 440A CCA on that one
(perhaps because its a much bigger battery though)

Who are "Giles Briggs"/ Battery Megastore ? Had dealings with Tanya Batteries myself ( an actual well known entity I got the above battery, so wouldn't tend to deal with other parties).

Plus a guarantee is only as good as the place you are buying it from, if they refuse, could be meaningless (plus you have to pay return postage, not cheap on a battery!).

Thank you Captain Obvious. I never thought of that!

Just by chance seen this, updated link, next time drop a report with new link and it'll be sorted :smiley:

​Wooooooooosh

Just wanted to order when I came across your link to reviews. Wow, thanks. Will pass on this one

Well mine arrived in 2 days and very happy, I got an Email with invoice pdf, which i have now printed out for warranty.

buy cheap buy twice....

​Thats not what I read into the original post :wink:

Clearly not, hence your comment, on here, on a battery thread stating you have to buy a new battery every year.

Or maybe it's a car worth £1500 that I have already spent £300 a few years back on an electrician trying to work out where the problem was. And he couldn't work it out.

Now, spending £50-60 every year to live with the problem is the lesser of two evils (the other being more diagnosis work on a depreciating asset) is the choice I made. And this thread made me save around half of that.

So yeah, maybe I did think about it.

I bought a van battery today in Halfords for £85, same one here £65. Gutted.

= heat though

This battery has the +(red) pole on the left...............will your leads reach?.....if you need to turn it round.

Good deal, sadly the "uk postage" and picture of the entire country is a little misleading as it excludes most postcodes north of Glasgow/Edinburgh. Last time I checked, Aberdeen was still part of the mainland. :disappointed:

jrw fancy not realizing that :smirk:

These only fit some Mazda's or some old Jap cars around 1990's era.

Even if it does fit in your battery tray, you probably won't be able to clamp it down so next police check earns you a £100 fine as they class that as an electrical hazard.

​Did your mechanic change the starter motor for a cheap Chinese like RTX ones eurocarparts sell? If so those starters are under specked and hence drain higher currents when starting. This results in knackering your battery quicker and when it does get a year old simply makes the car struggle to start.

I have fixed many customers cars by swapping out el cheapo starter for a branded one.

Try and post the correct companies reviews as your taking business away from a great company, just had a warranty replacement done and had great next day service!
