2003 V70 D5 battery

ab2504s · Dec 14th, 2017, 17:39

Hi all,

I intend buying a 353mm long Varta silver battery for my 2003 V70 D5. Although the Varta website lists this battery for my car, can anyone confirm this actually fits in their gen 2 V70/D5?

The reason I ask is because my current (Volvo) battery seems slightly smaller - mine looks to be 345mm wide (and there is virtually no wiggle room) - although without disconnecting/removing it, it's hard to measure it accurately.

for info I'm looking at:

Thanks

Bosch Battery for V70

i bought this battery in February from Euro Car Parts whilst diagnosing a starting issue with my V70. It turned out to be something else altogether so it has sat on a shelf in my garage since then taking up valuable space. Unused/as new condition.

Bought for a 2003 V70 D5, I assume it's also compatible with S60 and S80 of similar vintage, and quite possibly newer and older variants too.

I still have the receipt, it's guaranteed for 4 years.

See the current listing for it here

Sensible offers - I need the space.

That is what i was pointing out.

Crikey, that Bosch battery is £199 at ECP. For that sort of budget you could buy the correct Volvo part from a main dealer (having asked for the usual owners club 10% discount), have a massive night out on the town & still have enough left over for kebab & taxi home
