I have reached that feared point in the life of every motorist where my battery has decided to meet that Big Battery in the sky.  I will definitely have to buy another this week, but before that I would love to know which type of battery would most likely last longer-a maintenance free battery or one you have to top up now and then? What brand would be the best choice? Thanks in advance! 1 Like |

Lexusgs430: Its for a normal car boss. Its a 2003 Ford Focus SE wagon. The old battery; a Maintenance Free Bosche S3 lasted me a little over 2 years. Seems it lasted a tad too short for me though. |

billy187: IF U HVNT BOUGHT ALREADY THEN GOOD . GO ONLINE, CHECK THE CCA RATING OF THE STANDARD/FOLO COME BATTERY FOR UR CAR...THEN WHEN U go market,, ensure the cca of the batt u r buying is at least upto the cca of the factory battery, gobe are the days when people buy batts based on only 12v 70amp/60amp etc...... cca and rca na the baba cca = cold cranking amperes...ensure this is above 550, guessing judging by ur car size, xcheck to confirm rca = reserve capacity amps ...ensure this is above 125mins |
