It's new battery time for me. Anyone see any reason why I shouldn't buy either of these -

Seems very reasonable at either £45 and £55 for the heavier duty one, and free delivery.

Hi Paul,

Eurocar parts have 30% off at the moment making this one http://www.eurocarparts.com/car-battery £50.
Personally I prefer buying locally in case its wrong or damaged and I need to take it back. And I've always been happy with Lion batteries.
Bought one for mine 2 weeks ago fortunately the local store had one in stock, so I did click and collect and picked it up straight away.

All the best
Neil

Good Morning,
Looks like a good buy to me. I've had a quick search online but can't find anything cheaper.
A fair point by Neil with regards to buying locally though.

Andrew.

Thank you Neil. I did have a glance at Eurocarparts (such a handy company that is), but I was favouring the ones in the link as they were higher rated. Good point about buying locally, it is always easier, and strangely that company are not too far from me. It is good to know that you recommend Lion batteries though.

Both look fine to me and with square terminals....Personally I would go for the £55, what's a tenner nowadays

+1 for Euro car parts from me.
Picked up a battery, 2.8i fuel pump and fuel filter, all off the shelf and just down the road.

What's the guarantee on the batteries? I think Euro do 3 years on the Lions.

Thanks all for the input, appreciate it.

The guarantee on the cheaper one is 4 years, and 5 years on the other one.

that's pretty good.

Thanks again for all the replies. Will opt for the £55 one in the link. Cheers.

For £55 you could have a bigger 092

It's the 2.8 battery so still fits the tray OK

Thanks Peter. That one does have a little less of a warranty. And then there's the question of it not being standard

That did cross my mind

Battery ordered yesterday afternoon and arrived 8.00am the following morning, that was quick. Looking forward to fitting it, how sad, hehe!

Fantastic service, you can't ask for more than that.

When I was shopping around recently for a new battery for my Toyota, I found that a fitted price was around £35 more than a supply-only price. I wonder how many people are happy to pay the higher amount, as it seems a lot to pay for no more than five minutes work....

Andrew.

Did it come with the square terminals?

Seems a rare thing these days, I don't like fitting adapters as it just looks odd!!

Yes, square terminals indeed
