Default Car Battery

Can anyone recommend the correct car battery for my V40 2 LITRE 2002
ECT says 027. Will the 096 fit?

096 is perfect fit. Check out batterymegastore for the best service and prices. I recently bought two Varta 096 for my cars and as always superb service and quick delivery.

The 096 is the go to upgrade for these, as it's the largest that will fit in the battery tray, you just need to move the plastic clip along to the end position when refitting, although incidentally, the local motor factors near me were coming in at about 65 pounds for an 096, whereas they were able to offer me a 100 size, which is identical apart from being 10ah less (CCA is the same) and 15mm less tall than an 096, and it was nearly 20 quid cheaper.
