car batteries and tractor one's i have found do not last much past the guarantee, i have never had a new car the nearest has been two that where 3yr's old and yes the original batteries lasted longer than replacement's, one the Ford mk3 escort diesel lasted 5yr's so i decided to get another Exide battery as per original but after 3yr's it went,every one after did the same my wife's car one lasted 17mth's only guaranteed for 1yr reason i was told it,s because of the very small size not much bigger than a m/cyl one, tractor one's last about 3yr's some of these have been cheap and other's dear i try not to get the cheapest as i know they are not very good , one battery dealer worker informed me that the owner's purchased batteries from any where in the world that was the cheapest i no longer get mine from them!. |

I purchased a Tronic TLG 1000 B3 charger from Lidl some years ago - quite a big one which charges lots of different sizes of batteries inc PP3s for the smoke alarms. I buy all batteries from Lidl & have never had a leaky one or a problem. At £3.00 for four AAs you can't be robbed,cheers,JD. _________________ 1958 Ford Zephyr Mk2 Convertible
