Info on car batteries appreciated.
My battery went flat 4 weeks ago and i had it chargded up by an onsite repair guy. All was ok and the alternator was good.
Today the battery is flat again and i have now taken it out and am charging it up in the kitchen.
couple of questions.
1) on the -ve terminal i have a lot of corrosion dust. Does this indicate the battery is finished?
2) The charger i am using has all the red lights lit up and so i think this is showing the battery is charged. This cant be right. has anyone used one of these before?
3) Where is a good place to get a battery from ? My car is a 2L diesel and so it need to be quite big. I was looking at a bosch one online for £75 delivered.Hi
Does anyone know if the battery should be finished after 60k miles and 6 yrs use ?
The battery was flat 4 weeks ago and i had it charged up by a repair guy who came out on site. All was fine and it was holding its charge.
This morning the battery is flat again, so i think it is time to get a new one.
The car is a zt 2l diesel and has been remapped from 130 to 150bhp.
The car works a treat and i have never had any problems with it.
Can anyone also tell me which battery i need to be buying. i have a link which shows a few. should i go for a bosch ? What do you think to this link
