I tool one back that was struggling to start the car, they put their fancy tester on it and said "theres nothing wrong with it, try charging it up" I was not best pleased with this reply from them so went home, poured half of the acid out of the cells, then placed it on a 15A boost charge for a few hours. After that it was definately fucked and when I took it back for the second time they didn't argue..... love it Alex AlexF |

They used a fancy tester on mine and told me it needed charging I told them it was charged and wouldnt start my fancy car if it was cold, after a fair bit of arguing I got a new one.

Try taking it to a smaller store, they don't usually have a battery tester. Fastest 998 mini in the world? 13.05 1/4 mile 106mph

Why buy from Halfords in the first place ? Arent their batteries about twice the price of a normal motor factors ? 9.85 @ 145mph

Halfords are cheap, very cheap if you have one of those handy Trade Cards.

They are more expensive, but they do have up to a 4 year guarantee on them, so if you're planning on keeping the car then this could work to your benefit.

Mine gets in the way a bit, but only when it is up. If it is down it does not cause a problem. |
