Replacement Battery
Hi all, need a new battery for my S40 T4, anyone any idea where the best place to get one? Halfords are quoting £102 for a mid range one and on Flea bay you can get the same type of battery for about £78 (both are Calcium technology with 4 year warrenty).
Any ideas or pointers to the best place to buy one? |

Beat me to it, I was going to say eurocarparts do a L Ion for under £60.

Got one delivered last week from an online company called Tayna. Excellent prices, next day courier delivery. Cannot fault them.

Mine went flat today..first time since buying over a year ago. I was disgusted. It was -30°C though so I'll let it off 2 hour charge and its right as rain again.
Theres a car battery shop in Liverpool funnily enough tutleshead, they do the best batteries I have ever seen (Varta, Lucas, etc) caliciums 700+ CCA. They also have a website with UK delivery but I can't remember it sorry..
