Replacement battery arrived today.
Note when ordering it, I specifically asked is it Part no. A005 541 1001 (as per my original 95AH 850A EN) battery
I was told No! Its beeen superceded #ending in 82 08.
Not wishing to faff around with couriers if it were wrong, I double checked with another Main dealer.
They initially said "No its still # A 005 541 1001 , just a minute when you go book it out it shows on another system, a new replacement part No. # A0019828208-26
So I assumed they had got it right. Thinking 10 digit part numbers
The battery arrived showing 12.8V on the Fluke.
the part number was A001 982 82 08 as I expected.(assuming they dont show the /xx part of the code.
Then I noticed It is NOT 95AH 850A En
But now 92AH 850A EN. ( a bit disappointed they had down graded it )
So I rang the supplying dealer to treble check I have the right part and was told it was the right one.
- With the rain due shortly, and bonnet vertical lol I had to get on and fit it.
Pressure off I thought hmmm well he would say it was the right one wouldn't he.
So I thought I would double check a site I found, but that was still listing my battery A005 541 1001 As correct, and surprisingly. In the footnotes it said "replaces A001 982 82 08, A001 982 82 08 - 26."
OK its a US Site so it could be wrong, but it made me think, is there a ... 8208 and a 8208/26. And if so was my cross checking with another main dealer somewhat invalidated by the fact, that I should have got a ..8208/26 AND IS THAT THE correct ? 95AH version.
How can I check for sure, that this is the right one?
I.e. # A005 541 1001 95AH 850A has been replaced by
#A001 982 82 08 92AH 850A
I put all the detail in as I noticed there was another post discussing replacing the same battery as my original one.
I checked with Varta and she said its listed as 95AH?? And that batch was made in week 50 2016 ... so its not old stock they are trying to shift.
