which battery

[Nafoff]

i need to order a battery right now, i am not near my car and i need to know what battery it is

phase 1 172....what battery

 

[Deeg]

They're all the same mate (with the exception of the very fancy ones).

Just get the cheapest one you can find. Halfords super value one or whatever.

If you wanted the actual battery size, then I don't know. Sorry.

 

[Blarno]

Don't waste time at Halfords. The listed battery for my 172 was 100 quid! I went to a local factors and got one for 49 quid with a 4 year guarantee.

money isn't really an issue here....lol

you want a battery thats usually known as a 063, bosch 4 year sealed one is £44.95 or £29.95 for a standard 3 year one at our place but dunno how much price will change shopping about

if money isnt an issue and you want to save weight too!! For 100squid you could get a redtop15 like I have, tiny in size and weight and more powerful than standard!

or cliosport discount.... 3 year for £22.99 and a bosch for about £35 i think... cant remember now! but doubt your from notts area

I ordered one from here: Don't search by vehicle though, go on battery list and the battery type you need is 063. They list the 2.0l clio as being 065 but Ive heard they dont fit the 172/182s.

Bigger and dearer than a 15 which is easily powerful enough!

Thanks for that link, searched there and nearly went with the wrong one

Hopefully the 063 will sit in the car nicely!
