There is no doubt that a newer battery will perform more efficiently than a tired unit but essentially the battery they have supplied will not have the cranking power that a new like for like battery would supply.

You might take this with a pinch of salt but my dealer (JLR Customer service) told be that the electronics of the alternator and the battery are closely matched.

The bigger the battery, the more the alternator has to do.

Cold Cranking Amperage (CCA) is the battery's maximum output but there is a lot of confusion when comparing batteries because CCA can be rated either on the old SAE standard or the new modern EN standard which is much tougher so (to labour the point!) comparing CCA values can be misleading.

Like you, I dont subscribe to the use an LR battery - same spec by other brands with different technology can be the same or better.

Thanks for the replies guys. I'd like to say I've not been blagged by the garage it's owned by my best mate ! I specifically told him I wanted best he could get from his supplier and that's wat they gave us ! They doubled checked it today as I was concerned and that exact battery is wat is stated for my vehicle infact slightly better a/h ! So hopefully I shouldn't notice any problems starting etc ????? |
