Which starter battery (1 Viewer)

[barsteward]

Looks like my starter battery has given up the ghost so time to bite the bullet
There's such a bewildering array of makes, amp hrs prices etc.
I have the ducato 2.3 150bhp x250 and my searches so far result in amp hrs between 60ah to 100ah.
Being a complete numpty I assume that the 100ah is going to be the best (longevity wise) but which manufacturer
I have come across Advanced battery brand with 5 year warranty at a reasonable but not cheap price.
Any recommendations/advice would be appreciated.

Varta / Bosch

Sufficient CCA is also an important factor - especially with a diesel.

As I said I'm a complete numpty
What's CCA? and what is sufficient?

CCA = Cold Cranking Amps

Generally, but not always, the higher the number the better - just like the ah rating

Hey if you are at home in good old Tod. nip to the bottom of Spotland road in Rochdale they will sort you out with the correct battery and at sensible price
