Mike77 Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Sorry guys, I know i've seen this info on here, but cant seem to find it ? My battery has decided to retire itself from active duty, so I need a replacement. And remember seeing something about it needing a sliver cadium (wording may be incorrect) or similar. It a 2006 1.8tdci. Thanks in advance guys :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 Do you mean like a bosh silver? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brigante Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 You've got your standard lead acid battery One up from that is your calcium Then top of the range would be the Bosch silver which comes with a 5 year guarantee Think this is what you need http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/VehicleProductGuidedSalesCmd?storeId=10001&catalogId=10151&categoryId=165762&langId=-1&engineInd=1&makeName=23&modelName=2328&dvlaYear=52&subset=2328220&action=getProducts&findPartsMMYS=true&findPartsMMYSButton=Find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike77 Posted November 29, 2012 Author Share Posted November 29, 2012 Right,,,,, I was under the impression that the tdci NEEDED a certain type of battery. Thought there was a possibility of damage to some electrical components if the wrong type was fitted,,,, Or have I just read wrong ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

artscot79 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 All fords use smart charge all need a silver calcium or double calcium battery you cant use lead acid as the charging rate of 14.4v up to 18v would fry a lead acid battery quickly and cause electrical issues Halfords sell lead acid batteries for fords yet they are no good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
