I’m looking for technical help or recommendations on: possible battery replacement
Hi all, the other day I had my interior light on for no longer than 10 mins (radio and heating was off as was ignition) and when turning the engine on, it took a while but started in the end. This happened before when getting the car cleaned as the cleaners accidentally put the hazard lights on for 10 mins and i had a similar issue starting the engine.
I don’t think the battery had been replaced before, so signs of a new battery needed?
Yes, I would replace it as they do lose their charge holding capability after a few years.
Rule of thumb seems to be change every 3-5 years.
I fitted a Yuasa HSB053 Silver with a 5 Year Guarantee a couple of years ago, as they were on offer at Halfords at the time.
Also replaced my battery with the Yuasa HSB053 Silver 2 years ago, I paid £81 back then at Halfords (now £94 there) so the link from CBRDEANO is a very good price!
