If you needed a new starter battery

[PORKSTER]

What would you buy and where from I think I could need a new one after going to van tonight and finding it flat. I have removed it and I believe it to be original as it has an 05 date stamp on it so that makes it 12 years old so its done very well.

I found this https://www.tayna.co.uk/019-Enduroline-Car-Battery-900CCA-P8385.html I am pretty sure its the right one for my van a 06 Renault master 3.0 dci I f anyone knows of a better buy or if this make is good or bad please advise me. I do have the other one on charge but other than the battery charger have no way of testing if its completely died or not. Its pretty fiddly getting battery in and out so proberly best to bite bullet and get new.

So if you have any advice please let me know Thanks Paul

Varta & Bosch & Exide are good batteries, Eurocarparts are popular battery suppliers.

I'd bet it had of any one of these from new. Buy another one the same.
You have no idea who makes the Tayna one , probably cheap Chinese.

My top 3 as well.

Maybe you could check if there is a drain once you have fully charged it . It may not be gone yet?? I nearly bought a new one until I found a live constant feed draining the power away

Coincidentally, just replaced the 9 year old starter battery in my 3.0L Fiat based Laika.
Original was some unrecognisable Italian battery but it did 9 years, so fair play!
Key point, it was 110Ah, 950CCA, so I went for the same spec Enduroline from Tayna.
The pair of 135Ah AGM leisure batteries I had from them nearly 5 years ago have been fine.
Can't remember the make without going out to look but not a big household name, either.
The Enduroline has a 4 year guarantee and Tayna seem to be a supplier which sticks around.
Reviews are good and I seem to recall that these batteries may be the 'second name' of a bigger brand but I can't be sure.
No matter. I don't think it's critical for the price.

It is a Delphi cant find a supplier.

Think I read it was uk made could be wrong

My top 3 as well.

Any idea of where to source one at a good price ?

Would be the alarm and immobiliser I would think dosnt look like the solar charges starter battery

I fitted a Varta silvereline from Tanya ordered yesterday lunch here when I got home this afternoon. Fitted and and all is good let's see if this lasts 12 years

Got a Varta Silverline from Halfords, free fitting, just before we came away. The original equipment battery hadn't actually let me down (I keep it trickle charged from the solar panel) but the cranking speed seemed to be slowing so rather than break down in Morocco I decided to change it. It was 10 years old mind!

Then last night, while on an aire in Spain, the leisure batteries went flat................ Bu...r!

A mate at work had Halfrauds trade card but our local one didnt have anything suitable in stock,do you mind me asking how much your battery cost ?

The enduroline is no cheaper than the Varta blue dynamic now .

Think the blue will be quite adequate as my solar maintains the starter battery so I only need a standard one. Has anyone else fitted blue dynamic?

The original battery hasn't failed but is 10 years old on the 15th.

 

[Miggs]

I think he might have found one in the last 7 years!

 

[Richard n Ann]

Yes probably..

Ordered the blue dynamic £113 Inc delivery . I'll plug an old battery into the SAE maintenance connection before I start to keep the airbag ecu happy.

Incidentally, the battery that came new with the van is 95ah but only 680cca

017 and 019 batteries were the most common in vans. Identical except 019 is slightly taller and so slightly higher CCA rating.
