OK to fire it out and a new one in, no alarm/electronic issues?

OK nothing too scary then, It's a varta battery in there just now but it's not been very good, gets used every day of the year as well.

Just had a look, think it's Bosch S4010, can anyone confirm? £72 delivered not too scary smile

Thanks,

Dunc.

Edit Bosch also do a S5010 for "upper class cars" rofl It's £85, worth the extra?

S4010:- 12V, capacity 80Ah, cold test current 740A, 315mm long, 175mm wide, 175mm high
S5010:- 12V, capacity 85Ah, cold test current 800A, 315mm long, 175mm wide, 175mm high

All done, no problem beyond a few flashy lights on the dash on start up. Keeps the radio station and CD names etc too smile

On the 2007 cayman it's in the front boot right next to the bulk head under a plastic cover. It's mounted very high which isn't ideal but I guess packaging problems dictated this.

Cheers,

Dunc.

Freak it's a beast isn't it!

On the resetting stuff, the radio stations stay and the clock sets itself which is cool. Only thing I had to do was put the windows up and down and even at that it could probably just wait until the next time you put the window down?

Cheers,

Dunc.
