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.

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 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 ? |

Just get the Volvo one for your car from main Volvo dealer, usually works out the best plan long term.

Auxiliary stop/start battery
I have been quoted £85.20 for a replacement auxiliary battery from Volvo for our V40 R-Design. Two questions: 1) is that the going rate for the auxiliary battery? 2) Is there a better one for the same or less money out there?
