United Kingdom 2016 Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 Landmark LE Auto Waitomo GreyDiscovery 4

I bought one for £147.20 in May 2019 also with a trade card.

Now, 2 year 7 months later it is starting to fail! I may or may not succeed in a claim from Halfords, but I won't ever buy a Halfords battery again.

2007 Discovery 3 TDV6 HSE Auto Stornoway GreyDiscovery 3

Our car had halfords agm battery on it when we got it four years ago, don’t know how long it was on there beforehand but it was only showing 11.1v on an in car voltage meter the other week so orders a yuassa battery froze Tanya batteries at half four last Friday and it arrived at half ten Saturday morning, all for a £108.
The Halfords battery is sat on the garage floor now showing 12.5v. Maybe it was ok

Halfords battery Warranty

Just to add to this my experience of Halfords. When I take back a failed battery to Halfords under warranty I always take a picture or the meter reading showing CCA and % life left as well as condition. Every time they check it against their meter result and then swap the battery under warranty without grumbling, however have never showed me the results from their test.
I have had 3 car’s batteries replaced under their 5 year Yuasa warranty that are 3 or 4 years old
 Must stop buying shiny toys....
