Title: OEM standard battery
Post by: Sammy on June 10, 2012, 01:35:41 am

What is the best replacement battery to get? Mine has a dead cell so time to replace, has anyone changed theirs yet and does anyone know the power rating required as I am sure it needs to be the same as the existing one

Been looking to get a new one myself. Bosch comes highly recommended on here. The one that I am going to get and seems to be the best is a Bosch S5 model no: 444771008. It even slightly exceeds the power of my existing one, so should be able to handle itself fine! If you buy your battery at Eurocarparts, use this discount code UKMK425 and you will get 25% off!  :happy2:
