Yes. As a similar idea, my back up plan is that I might get my very local Universal Tyres depot to get a non Volvo battery for me 'cos they provide good stuff and a good service. But I do want to use a Volvo battery this time if I can.

Match that and the physical dimensions and buy from the dealer.
Genuine batteries are surprisingly reasonable on price and cheaper than Halfords in the long run because they last about twice as long.  |
Yes. I had read in another thread about the Volvo battey's value and longevity. Secondly, they also must obviously look appropriate in a Volvo engine bay.
I did wonder about buying from a Volvo dealer on Ah and size ... and I can look for CCA as well. I'm not sure if a Volvo dealer can get a battery on that basis? I'll 'phone on Monday. Oh and it needs to be designed to slide fit on to the battery tray as well, and have the terminals the suitable way around for the connections.
Can someone remind me, who is the dealer that gets mentioned on here occasionally as giving a good price and service please?
If anyone has a part number that would help a lot, please?
