I think the old battery was not idea for the car.


I am thinking of replacing with a Exide Standard Battery EA770

BHP 158
Capacity Ah 77Ah
Cold Test Current Amps 760A

All the batteries on the list below have higher Amh than the one with the car only 2 year old battery no dead.

Is it worth spending money on a bigger battery? 77Ah instead of 60Ah

I was hoping the battery will a charge long as I do not drive often.

Buy a good brand name battery, you are buying peace of mind. Could be another cold spell this year, that could really tax weak batteries.

stop start battery would have been over 200 euro.

You need a Stop/Start Battery if your car is fitted with this function a regular Lead Acid will fail more quickly if fitted or you may start noticing stop/start doesn't work or comes on very quickly after coming to a stop.

I am glad to say I do not have stop start in My Skoda Superb 1.8tsi 2010.

Next time I buy a second hand Car I will check the Battery in the correct one.

€20 Labour?

Batteries were always priced as fitted as far as I knew.

That is not my experience when getting a garage to fit a battery.
