Flashback Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 Well it looks like after 12 years of service it might well be time to look for a new battery to replace the stock one. I'm looking at probably swapping it out for a Bosch S4: http://www.eurocarpa...3c834d78 Just before I do, does any one have any alternatives that they would recommend over this one? Lighter ones, different battery type, manufacturer, etc. Cheers.... Quote
ZMANALEX Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 These work at half the price: Just check that they are the correct application. https://www.mdsbattery.co.uk/shop/productprofile.asp?ProductGroupID=9375&utm_source=Google&utm_medium=base&utm_campaign=google-base&gclid=CN64z6Wm0dMCFXEz0wodzCcFXg http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fits-Nissan-350Z-Z33-3-5-Gran-Turismo-4-296-Yuasa-Battery-Vq35De-02-05-12-05-005-/371317460869?fits=Model%3A350+Z&hash=item56743ecf85:g:5XsAAOSwBP9UWO4v http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VARTA-D47-560410054-Car-Battery-TYPE-005-005L-12V-60AH-540A-4Yrs-Wrnty-/282285260602?hash=item41b9833f3a:g:2gYAAOSwuspY-NCN Quote
Richf Posted May 2, 2017 Posted May 2, 2017 I usually buy mine from here https://www.tayna.co.uk/ Bosch and Varta are usually the best in tests Quote
Flashback Posted May 2, 2017 Author Posted May 2, 2017 Cheers guys what's the reliability on these like? Is it wrong for me to put something German in my car? Would I be on the path to the dark side? Quote
