Although they all perform the same function, not all batteries are created equal.
The best battery to choose will depend on a number of things:
Air conditioning, lights, entertainment systems, USB charging connections, airbags, sensors, and many more things are all powered by modern vehicle batteries. You could need a cutting-edge car battery, such as an Advanced Flooded Battery (AFB) or an Absorbent Glass Mat, if your vehicle has start/stop and other modern capabilities (AGM).
You can get advice from our skilled installers on the kind of battery your car needs.
This depends on all the factors above, but good quality batteries start around £150. For a few deluxe and unusual vehicles, they can be £350 plus.
The most common types of batteries are:
Lead acid batteries – These are relatively cheap to replace and usually guaranteed for 4 years (or around 20,000 starts).
Calcium batteries – These are more durable and have about 28% more starting power. They should last for 37,000 starts.
Silver/Calcium batteries – These are pricier, but they deliver 40% more power and are guaranteed for longer. They should last for 60,000 starts.

Not sure if it’s time for a car battery replacement? There are a number of warning signs for which to look out, including
You need to get your battery inspected right away if either the battery warning light or the engine warning light is on. Because the battery supplies the car’s computer with low voltage, the engine warning light illuminates. The engine and battery lights will turn on as a result.
A vehicle battery loses power as it ages because its internal parts frequently start to corrode. This is apparent when you turn on your vehicle and it starts slowly.
Either of these will indicate a car battery problem. A battery’s capacity to run the car’s electrical system decreases as it ages.
