Anyone bought one recently?

The battery in the yellow peril appears to struggle to hold a charge for more than a week or so

So if you did, where, reference number and what price?

I've no problem with the performance of Halfords batteries, but it usually turns into a bit of a nightmare getting the right one for any of my cars

Like the terminals being the right way round

 

I got one from Halfords last year. As you say, they list the wrong battery - it's the right size, just the wrong way round.

Surprisingly, the salesmonkey knew about this and got me the right one.

 

I think it's in the tech faq about the Halfords battery, I wrote to their customer services to inform them, so it may be ok now. I'll have a look...

 

 

Thanks Neil

It's exactly because of that kind of glitch that I want to hear from someone who has bought the 'correct' battery very recently

 

My Halfords one seems to be holding it's charge very well too, the car's been locked in the garage for long periods over the winter and the battery has coped, no problem.

 

you could go on a diet with a Spoon lightweight

 

that'll be the day

Halfords will do nicely

 

just check terminal sizes also.. if it is a JDM (and if you still have got the original JDM battery).. the terminal connectors could be a different size to the replacement battery ..since there seems to be different battery standards between Japan/Europe

this problem happened when I replaced my JDM battery

 

I bought one last week and the Halfords documentation was still wrong.
