Well it looks like my 9 year old battery finally died.
Got back to Manchester airport long stay at 10:30pm last Friday and guess what nothing. 30 minutes later the AA jump started it and told me all was well.
Next morning dead as a dodo
Got on to totalbatteries.co.uk and here I am today £66 lighter with a 575A battery and a Pug working
Delivered in 2 days for an extra £3. Halfords wanted £99 for a lower amp battery
Batteries used to run-down over a few weeks until you finally replaced it but these days they just die! usally a cell goes down and takes the whole battery with it
That's a good price as batteries are blinking expensive now.
Cars in my care:
2021 Kia Spottage 1.6 Pez Turbo Dual Clutch Gearbox Trickery
2013 Renner Twingo - donkey work
You are so right they seem to be instant death with very little warning.
I would recommend the battery site I used, had it recommended to me for my other car a grey import. They ream you for batteries in the UK but that web site offers an asian equivalent at nearly half the price.
