Battery?

Featured Replies

Hi guys is there any way to tell wether the battery on my car is the one from the factory just curious haha !



Batteries sometimes have a date stamp on them - normally month & year

So 03/05 would be March 2005

As your car is 2005 & if the battery is original it's doing very well

Cheers

I'll have a look this weekend see if I can see it

id upgrading at any time; I highly recommend fitting a Bosch S4

I've changed mine last year as part of a full entertainment upgrade and even noticed an increase in MPG figures.

that must be the most sensibly modified Corsa in the UK Jamie,

And the only upgrade on a Corsa that would show increased performance 👍

it may also be the "out of jail card" in terms of Street credit😀

"I drive a Vauxhall Corsa"

lads be like 😕😣

"But it has a Bosch S4 battary"

Then lads be like 😯👍
