Try phoning around local motor factors. If they don't have it they should be able to get it for you.

Thanks for finding the car showing as yuan plus, I don't know why they are not using the European name atto3, but the width on the battery you have (137mm) is not the same as the width on the exide site (127mm). I am trying to figure out why?

Can you not just go to your local motor factors and buy a battery? Why does it have to be a specific brand?

horse7 · 29-05-2025 07:40PM

Has to be correct measurements to fit the mounting measurements, correct terminals jis, B1 mounting

But the motor factors will give you the correct battery? You just need to give them your car registration

Honestly just save yourself the hassle to messing around online and just go to a motorfactors

Is there not a standard code on the battery, like 057, 063 etc.?

Don't know if you can see a code?

Tipp1991 · 30-05-2025 05:55PM

Just use Yuasa's battery finder. Enter the reg and the last three digits on the recommended battery are the standard battery code. e.g. 096 in this case.

Any 054 battery should do the trick.

Just go to the local motor factors ffs. Why on earth would you buy a battery online?

Car's not driving and motor factor is a distance away?

Motor factors always have a van on the road doing deliveries. I’ve had parts delivered to me within 10 minutes
