    Theres nothing like boots on the ground reports on equipment.

    I have purchased the battery this morning and fitted it, it fired up first turn of the key,now to hunt down the parasitic battery drain this car has,thanks again.

    I recently fitted a Yuasa battery knowing it was calcium/calcium. No problems here.

    Also fitted the same (110) to a friends Kuga 3 years ago and they haven't had any issues either, in fact no issues with battery going flat since.

    The difference btw Ca-Ca and Ca-Silver battery is that later is able to withstand higher under-the-hood temperature. This is important since Ca-Ca battery cells start to corrode (i.e. shed the active material from the plates, making electrolyte muddy). High temperature therefore destroys the Ca-Ca batteries after 3 years, at least in my experience.
