“This is my second lion battery, my last one lasted 4 years.
My car is sat around a lot and I have a aftermarket alarm which puts a lot of strain on it.
Definitely recommend 10/10”
“I buy these for my diesel Transit Connect. I only drive the van for around 20 minutes per day as I work in a trade, very locally.
I'm therefore very aware of what strain that puts on a battery.
With regular sessions on trickle charge every weekend through Winter months, these Lion batteries from Euro Car Parts last around 2 years. Ones costing 3.5 times as much last around 3 years.
Though they only last 2 years, I never bother claiming on the 3 year warranty. It simply isn't worth the paperwork and hassle, and I figure I'm getting my money's worth.
FWIW they start the van and run everything just as well as a more expensive battery druring their life, so there is no loss in performance.
While I have this van, I'm still working, and these batteries are still available, I'll continue to buy and use them.”
