Battery

[is200 Newbie]

Recently come back from a holiday overseas. Spent a month in Australia and left the car in the airport carpark and I was expecting to come back to it not starting due to it being stood still for over a month.

Was quite surprised (not complaining) that it started first time. Don't know if its on the original Battery but 9 years on its still going strong ... touch wood. I have noticed though that the airbag indicator light seems to stay on a bit longer .. probably the same as before but seems to stay on a bit longer.

We hired a Nissan Pulsar while on holiday - a nice nippy automatic car but was glad to get back into mine. The difference was unbelievable in the drive between them both (obviously)

Nice, I had to change mine recently, I was told usually after 9 years most batteries need to be changed and mine was showing signs of weakness.

What's the brand and model of the Battery ? 

Batteries are just batteries.  They can die when they like. But some are better than the other and price reflect it.

The original was Panasonic, the new one is a bosch
