Thanks for your reply. I put my reg. in on the Halfords website and it shows you which batteries are suitable. (I will measure the dimensions before I buy). Shant have it fitted, costs another £18 and I am on a tight budget. The question is, do I buy a "calcium" battery or a "lead aci...

I have decided to buy a new battery. I am going to take the trickle solar charger back to Halfords, within 28 days I can get a refund so that will be £15 and a voucher for £20 with Confused.com for Halfords, so £35 towards the battery. Halfords have 3 different batteries (HCB063, HB108 and HB057) ea...

The 4 amp battery charger is vintage, one of the clips was missing and my friend's husband put a new one on and he tested it too. I did ask him today how he tested it and he said he used a light bulb! As I know nowt about chargers, I have no idea whether it is good or bad to test a battery charger w...

Thank you for your replies. My car is a 2008 1242cc Ford Zetec and I have had it from new, (done under 24,000 miles) a new battery on in 2017. I have a 4 amp charger and it is charging now, had it on charge for 4 hours yesterday and 4 hours last Thursday. Used car on 11 Oct and went about a mile, 12...

Thanks for your explanation. Have just spoke to Halfords as I wondered what the size was of the solar panel. On the dearer one the size is 2.4w and on the one for £15 the solar panel is 1.5w. I asked because a link was provided on one of the posts and the panel was 10w. So not sure how effective a s...

So here we are again, hardly using the car and on Thursday the car would not start. I have shopped around for a new battery (prices range from £48 - £110) and as I speak my battery is on charge. I am thinking of buying a solar trickle charger and try it on my old battery to see if it helps - I have ...

All went well with my transfer to Avro Energy and they took my first payment on 28 July. Learnt today that they have ceased trading so that is the end of that .......

Do feel free to participate in the monthly generation thread (don't be shy). It is important because it puts your own generation in perspective with others. Look forward to any input which will be much appreciated and thanks in advance.

I switched the charger off overnight. I switched the charger back on, on Monday and the pointer soon went to 0. On Monday the battery was put back on the car and it started up first time, had a drive round the block then left the car running on the driveway for a short while. I shall have to make su...
