Battery

[Gooner20112012]

Anyone recommend Battery for 2004 D4D Toyota yaris t-spirit? Not bothered bout price just whats compatible and long lasting. Many thanks in advance.

Varta, Bosch S4 or S5 are my go-to batteries - what is currently on the car 014, 027 or 069

Also worth seeing how much the dealer wants for one - It's usually part of their fixed price parts catalogue so shouldn't be super expensive, and is guaranteed to fit correctly. Otherwise agree with flash; Varta and Bosch generally reliable.  Also Exide and Yuasa.

Just make sure you get one rated for your car - More CCA the better! Those diesel engines need stronger batteries to start, and will murder the weedy petrol ones quite quickly!

Hi Flash mine is 057 stamped on top.

I would recommend Varta.

Normally the highest CCA along with Bosch S5. From my understanding it is a rebadged Battery from the same factory, just cheaper (Skoda/VW etc).

Have had them for years and on both the Toyota and Skoda (096's)

I get them from Tayna batteries North Wales. More or less the cheapest, there in a couple of days and exceptionally well packaged. Slick.

057 is a right-hand negative, it's a bit small (capacity wise) for a diesel

Is your car Jap or French built ?

Jap diesel

55D23R crosses over to a 005R

80D26R crosses over to a 069 or Bosch S4 027

It *should* be japanese - AFAIK all the diesel Mk1s were made in japan right up to the end, but don't quote me on that!!

The P10 diesel is built both in France and Japan

Have been using Halfords batteries for my two Yaris, they do the job with a no quible 4 year warranty. Think I paid about £60 for the last one a couple of years ago, worth a look at. If you're in any business conected with motoring, get a trade card.

You get good service at TAYNA.  The Auris hybrid we have has a Optima yellow top fitted for 3.5 years now.
