Hi everyone,

 

I'm tired of my lightweight battery being always flat whenever I want to take the car out after more than a week, and I'd like to go back to a full size battery.

 

I know the size has to be 063, and I've read the Bosch S4 is a good choice... but what about the Bosch S5? It's also a 063 type, and has better specs: 52Ah, 520amp CCA. Will this work on my car? (it's a Turbo with alarm)

I have one of these in mine, was about £50 from Costco & seems to do the job.  Given what a pain it is to swap them over the longer it lasts the better...

I have the S5. It's terrific. Car goes months between drives and starts first time.

 

The price above for an S4 is really good though.

Thanks for the replies! That is a good price indeed for the S4, but I think I'll go for the S5, sounds like just what I need!! :)
