Dont trust Halfords. They sold an elderly neighbour a new battery,
a few days later that was also flat. The problem was a loose fan
belt!


I walked in Halfords two years ago, selected the most expensive
battery with the highest power rating and they fitted it - all for
£105.


Was this for your milkfloat? Most cars will only take one size of
battery.


That's never been my experience. Current wheels is on its 3rd battery,
each of different capacity.


Think you haven't read what was said. About selecting the most expensive
and highest current rating battery Halfords stocked and having it fitted
by them. Most cars have only one size that will fit it - unless you're
stupid enough to fit a smaller one and have it rattling around.
