I have a Varta H3 - 100Ah, that has started to fail (it's resting at 12v at present) Yep, the alternator is putting out 13.9-14.4v.
1/ Is Varta a Mercedes recommended ?
2/ I only do about 6 miles per day, so unless I think about it, it doesn't get a great charge. Would a bigger Ah be any advantage ?
3/ Halfords recommend a Yuasa. Are they better or worse than Varta ?
4/ Can I top up the water in the H3 ?
5/ Does the computer need resetting if I disconnect the battery to replace ?
6/ If so, do Halfords, Kwik fit etc carry this out.
7/ Where is the cheapest place to get a good battery ?
any other help or advice appreciated.
