Car Batteries Online

Was looking for a car battery online and realised Euro Car Parts now sell batteries on their website - they didn't previously. And with free delivery it was pretty handy!

Got a Bosch 063 for the Golf without any hassle.

    You seem to promote them a lot.

    Nice plug! However if you want to save money (the 063 is about the most popular/basic battery around) go to your local factor and save loads.

    Clearly advertising..... And because ECP made such a hash of delivery last time I placed an order, lets have some fair competition.

    £44 for a Varta (+ delivery at £7.98), and Varta make batteries for Bosch :p

    Their budget (but still branded) 063 batteries are around £30.


    Your average tyre/battery/exhaust outlet are going to be charging in the region of £70-£95, depending on whether your male or female (as my poor neighbour found out when she needed a battery for an old MK3 Ford Escort).

    Agreed, no disposal of old battery to worry about, no getting hands dirty, and no " Warranty Returns " worries ...should the need arise.

    ;)

    ( Looks like a spam post to me as well ).

    Indeed he does - I'm tempted to press the 'SPAM' button for his post.

    Almost every post.:rotfl:
  • ECP Email last night advertising the fact batteries were available on line.......

    I wonder if the OPs other ECP posts coincide with other ECP mailshots in the past?

    By all means please feel free - not intended as spam, just informing people in case it maybe of use.

    No harm meant. :)

    Mine didn't, they were only about £3.50 more expensive for a like for like Varta.

    Well worth the extra for the convenience.
