Still only 55ah but good cca

Got quoted 209 & 189 for a yellow top just couldn't justify that on a aux battery so went for the exide after reading the reviews and speaking to a few people Thumbs Up

Just out of interest, why would you be happier with a high cranking power, but lower Ah on an auxiliary battery?

I would have thought that the opposite would be more beneficial? Question 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Eh Question Don't quite follow you.....

Is it purely based on cost and using a cheaper battery? If so, then I can understand your thinking Thumbs Up

I was just thinking that there was some other advantage Question 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue

Hi Geoff,
Does the cover still fit properly?

Also, I note that you haven't yet had the P017 recall done. Whistle

Best Wishes,
