Battery

[peterzs]

Son in Law bought one for there Ford Galaxy, ?50 delivered next day, off the net. Same time as I replaced my one.

After a week it was flat, thought the internet company wouldnt be bothered, I took the daughter to the place I got my one from, to check the battery and alternator. After testing the battery it was not holding its volts/amps.

So the son in law got back in touch with the internet co. said it was tested, and found faulty. Gave them the battery place tel number incase they wanted to check.

Had another battery sent off, had it next day, and still have the other one as is wasnt worth collecting.

Thought it was good service, but just shows these new batteries can be shot.

Got a maintenance battery charger just before the snow all kicked off.
If you're gonna buy one, then Halfords do them ?20 cheaper online and allow you to reserve instore, cost us ?30 in the end rather than the ?50 they wanted instore.
