Luke23 tdci Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 My friend has a 57 plate focus ghia 2.0 he bought a new battery about 3 months ago. Last night when driving home car died and battery is completely flat. Like 1.3v in it. He bought it from euro car parts but he's now thinking did he get recommended the wrong battery. Anyone know what battery type is recommended ?. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stoney871 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Any battery that physically fits the tray and is a Silver Calcium rated over 70AHC will be best as it will provide better cranking and therefore good cold starting abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
