Since Lockdown the car has only been used for short local, shopping trips. Not enough long journeys to sustain the Battery capacity.
Following another non start this morning, with Temperatures close to zero, time has come to replace it. My recent purchase of a battery booster
unit has saved me a lot of time and hassle. The present battery is a three year old Halfords unit. No problems with it up till now, but lack of use
seems to have led to some deterioration in the Cells. Recently, my local Garage who I use frequently and trust, recommended only two Battery
makes for this size of engine. Yuasa or Bosch. He said that others are not up to the Power required to start a V8 and will deteriorate sooner than expected.
Price is not a problem, and I am being persuaded towards Yuasa, but any comments would be appreciated.
