Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted October 7, 2009 Get a 306 battery worked a treat with mine. Find a mate whos got a trade card and get one from Halfords for about £45 If worse comes to worse I've got one. O yea did I take that picture at Pugfest? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jose 0 Posted October 9, 2009 Get a 306 battery as said above, preferably a HDI one, plenty of juice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe1joe 3 Posted October 9, 2009 yep paul its the one you have taken! looks nice in that picture, didnt realy want a halfords special! are they sealed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,650 Posted October 9, 2009 Halfords batteries are good in my eyes, for the simple reason that they come with a 3 or 4 year guarantee depending on which type you buy. If you have a trade card the prices are no more expensive than anywhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe1joe 3 Posted October 12, 2009 got a bosch 60 amp for 60 pounds with a four year warrenty which i thought was very cheap!? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tom Fenton 1,650 Posted October 12, 2009 £19 pounds more expensive than the same thing from Halfords, also with 4 year guarantee...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
joe1joe 3 Posted October 12, 2009 true but a bosch battery is a better quality battery, and i dont have a halfords card.... and the bosch battery i got was trade price. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Paul_13 212 1 Cars Posted October 12, 2009 Fair play ^ Trade card is handy to have, bulbs work out about 50p! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
