Every year my car doe snot get used from october to march

Every year i forget to remove the battery

Now its dead and wont hold a charge

So what battery is best for the car other than a Mercedes one that would require me to sell an organ

Just make & or model and ill try and get it from the tax dodgers that are amazoon

Cheers

Its a standard lead acid battery, in many cases if left flat for too long, then they never recover. Had you disconnected it it would have been OK, but you know that.


I would ask EPC for a price, they are very competitive, do not buy a house name brand, got to be a good one like Varta, Bosch,Exide.

Hi T G F P,

After you have installed the battery of your choice, may I recommend that you purchase a battery conditioner for use when your cab is not in use. My conditioner has been in use in my cab for the past 7 years and the car starts at the first twist of the key with the 7 year old battery.
