Battery check.

I've got the Halfords AGM battery in mine. So far so good. I believe it's actually made by Yuasa and it has a 5 year warranty 👍

If you're going to fit it yourself the Bosch AGM battery also has a 5 year warranty and is another good option.

May be worth trying an intelligent battery charger as most have a repair function that is supposed to desulphate the plates and restore some of the charge capability. At about 40 pounds seem quite reasonable.

I use a CTEK MXS-5.0 which has a reconditioning mode that I use maybe once a year.

This shows what it does in the various modes.

So random question. When I hold the trip button below the speedo to check the battery level is says the StateOfCharge is 60% or 70%. What should the correct reading for a healthy battery be? (baring in mind I only really drive it on the weekends).
Thanks

I'll try and remember to check mine and let you know.

It should be 100%, I would get a charger if I were you. You're obviously not doing enough mileage to keep the battery full and therefore it will fail early like so many others.

Here's my battery SOC today.
