Time for new battery..

Could anyone confirm what spec I need please. I would like something that's up to the job, I think mine's a little under powered Sad

Thanks

90Ah I think ?
With the biggest CCA number you can find !

You want an 019 with ideally 850-900CCA

This ticks the box

https://www.halfords.com/motoring/batterie...61078.html

Print a copy of the email receipt and put it in a ziplock back under the battery when you install. That way if it dies you know where your 5 year guarantee is!

NB: £105 with Halfords Trade Card

Edit: £96 delivered by Tayna, same guarantee

https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/yuas...LMEALw_wcB I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

Or Tayna have Exide EA10000 for £18 less. Same spec but 4 years rather than 5 guarantee.

Good idea about the receipt! I never think to check. Although I’ve usually ordered a battery by the time I lift the old one out so I’d end up with two!

What does the 019 mean, is it the physical size of the battery ?

Correct - 019 refers to spec for dimensions L354 / W175 / H190 I know it's not considered "kind" to say no these days, but no. Just no, ok? And if it's not ok, still no.

And correct terminals in the right place for a D3/4. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

If you intend to keep the vehicle long term, buy an AGM battery. Worth the additional expense IMO. Thumbs Up 2006 D3 HSE (Original & still the best)-GONE
2010 D4 HSE (A bit bling)-GONE
2014 D4 HSE (Almost too bling)-GONE
2015 D4 HSE (A heated what?)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Written Off)-GONE
2016 D4 Landmark (Surely the last!) PD1881 rims-GONE

Never really looked at AGM - are they really worth it on early D3 without stop / start ? Can I still use my C tek if need be to charge ?

Some cteks support agm.

On 5A models. If the button is red or blue it supports agm

Theoretically AGM batteries are not suitable for D3s as the charging rate is to high particularly in cold weather, but no question they are far superior to wet cell batteries and people are using them successfully on vehicles they are not designed for particularly vehicles that do short journeys as they accept recharge much faster. It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
