Was told today by the service manager that our car battery was on it's way out. They did a load test and it was on the low side so Q/ what battery would you ever so clever people suggest for our Suzuki GV (2012) :?:

A 12v one Dottie, one that fits in the spot where the other one was with the terminals in the same positions...... Flooded cell AKA wet cell that can actually be topped up, not an AGM as the under bonnet temp shortens the cycle life of AGM batteries

I have a sealed lead acid battery under the bonnet of my SGT , been there for almost 5 years now , and the temp up here is a tad warmer then down there .

Most are like that now days Bernie. The new one I put in the Holden a year or so ago is the same.
Just have a small window that shows red or green. They are still just basic lead acid though I think.
Dot any cheapas ones will do it. BigW have them too I reckon?
