Should I replace a 10 year old car battery?

getmore4less

I had to replace recently(Oct last year).

The symptoms for my car are it turns over fine but just won't start.
The reason there is a fuel cut off if the starting revs are not over a threshold.

The killer was ONLY WHEN WARM,  cold starts were fine(there is a wiring mod available to bypass when warm) 
leave it to cool and it would start but stuck in an Asda carpark once too often after a quick shop.  
that was around 12years old OEM(Varta) and another winter would have got it I think

I use

Then look for a better price/delivery not found one yet over the years.

Just check if not the exact OEM as there can be slight size differences
Standard replacement(another Varta higher capacity £80) was a tight fit in the battery cover. 

We are through this winter, as yours is garaged I would give it another year but do the research for the replacement so when it does go you are on next day delivery for replacement 

if you don't have one look at the CTek chargers you can leave them on the car.

Batteries are one of those things I tend to change on used cars, along with discs and pads.
They're not dear, they're easily changed and I know they're as good as they can be.

Just looking at batteries. Tayna state 4 year warranty. It is cheaper on Amazon (sold by Amazon) but they don't mention a warranty. Which should I go for?

I buy direct from Tayna. I try not to use Amazon where possible as they don't pay tax, treat their employees poorly, etc...

Amazon assuming they are selling brand new battery.

Battery warranties are manufacturer backed so it doesn't matter where you get them from.
