Which battery did you choose?
Good evening,
The cold is killing my battery and I’m hesitating going for Volvo’s battery again... The current and only battery: - Volvo - price - lasted 6 years / 155.000 km (100.000 miles) - 3/4 secondary roads - parked in garage 3/4 of the time - car is XC60 D5 (diesel) Thanks for sharing your experience. |
Just get the Volvo one.
For me, it was surprisingly the cheapest from a Volvo Indy. |
replacement battery
hi, my car is very much like yours, same make, mileage and age and i went for a volvo battery, to be honest i checked on here and people recommended paying that litte bit extra for a reliable battery
|
Get the correct volvo one, no brainer.
It's correct for the car in output & physical size & designed for the car. Surprisingly also the cheapest on all the 4 volvo's I've had over the years as well. Normally the dealer will also fit it for free |

though I'd never buy an OEM exide again as a 4yr battery failed @ 22 months...that said it was replaced by the supplier Eurocarparts who stood by the guarantee/warranty - whilst they upheld their end of the bargain:thumbs_up: the original lasted 15 years - I rather think the Volvo OEM is a much better value in the longterm. |

S40 - Was still on the original battery 8 years from new C70 - Replaced it not long after getting it & we had it on the car 6 years without issues S60 - Never replaced the original that it came with, car traded when it reached 12 years old XC60 - This was replaced just before the winter as it was throwing up low battery alerts & failed the Vida test. It was 6yrs old & the replacement was about £100 fitted. |
The recommended one for my xc60 according to the users guide is 700-800 A CCA, so would a 800 CCA 95Ah work?
Is the Ah figure relevant ? |
