General Twin Air Battery Recommendation

[TTR]

Eh up all

As a tight Yorkshireman I’m upset

I’m thinking my 2016 TA Cross needs a new battery- only 16k miles but lots of short runs and mrs uses air con heated seats windscreen the bo88dy lot ! It’s starting to be a slow crank despite putting it on the charger - just think it’s had it’s day as alternator is fine pushing out plenty of current’ oil and services up to date so nothing obvious

Anyone recommend a new battery - usually opt for Exide/Bosch / Varta as options

All advice welcome as long as it’s free

Yuasa make very good batteries.

Tayna batteries on line are good supplier of all sorts of brands.

ECP is one of the most expensive places to buy a battery - and many other tings too, as it happens.

As mentioned by another reply, Tanya online are very good: very quick, great service and very good prices. (However, there was a comment here from someone who had a less good experience -- i suppose no one can be perfect every time) I believe this link has the correct spec (but do check!) https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/types/027-efb/

Good to hear from you - think we’ve been conversing since 2008 when I had the mk2 4x4!

I know ECP are ok for some parts but others

Will look at Tanya - alomost sure I used them in the past maybe on the mk1 4x4

Cheers again

Battery megastore are also very good, they are also on ebay which was where I purchased my Varta battery for just under £50 delivered with a 20% discount code
