Where To Get New Battery

[Yaris WRC]

My Battery is dead, its a uk t-sport mk1 made in japan, do these have a specific sized Battery compared to other yari?

where would people suggest the best place i go to get a new Battery and whats the cost?

[armoredfist2002]

i'm sure yarii batteries are narrower than standard, how much of a hurry are you in as most places are closed untill 3rd Jan.

You could try toyota, or even wait for envy to open, they may be able to get you a light weight racing Battery, if you'd want one.

Unless you've got a Halfords in N. Ireland, about £50 for a normal Battery, Mr T you'll probably pay over the top, and lightweight Battery will probably be expensive for being lightweight.

a friend of mine all says when replacing a Battery on a petrol car replace it with a Battery off a diesel version of your car as they are better.

so i could get a suitable one in Halfords?

i dont want to go to toyota unless thats the only place i can get the narrow Battery.

Envy is open again on the 3rd Jan you say?

would they be able to post a Battery? is it not classed as Hazardus

yeah Diesel batterys would have more turning power wouldnt they??

[Burnie1000]

Sure you could get a suitable replacement from Halfords if theyre open. The Yaris Battery is as I understand just a normal 12V Battery nothing special.

Why would you need a Battery from a diesel if the Stock one works fine.

ENVY sell Yellow Top batteries which are meant to be really good but imagine they would be pricey.

If I was you just nip down to Halfords and buy a decent make as it sounds like you need one pretty soon.

Think the yellow top batteries are only really needed if your powering a decent sized install, and tbh Mr T batteries on a Yaris are around £35-£40, and its right first time, instead of buying on from Halfords and hoping its the right one then taking it back etc.

[Yaris_Tsport]

well i think with the diesel Battery you get a stronger power supply so if you have a lot of ice in your car you can run it longer. sort of like when people add another Battery think this works in the same way. but thats so i have been told. :)

i got a MR Toyota Battery for £32 that included 20% disscount for the inconvenience i encounter at the dealership over a 3 day period.

I'm sure i recently read that the T-Sport and SR models require batteries rated at 90A ( i presume the 'A' refers to Amps) whereas other models only required 60A rated batteries... although i could be wrong!

My Battery died again on saturday, i stupidly left the interior light on for 12 hours. Thats about the 4th time the Battery has drained, doesnt seem to last long at all!

[Yaris SR Kid]

Battery doent last long at all, left my lights on for 1 hour once and Battery had gone!

[Woody27]

Yeah left my sidelights on when parked partly on road outside my girlfriends house and was there a good few hours (over 4) Came back to it and luckily it did just turnover but was so close to not!

[pinkbits69]

No 'Lights on' warning on the SR?

Thought it was standaed?

[Woody27]

Yeah but i had had to park slightly on the road as there was no space on her drive and it is an unlit road so wanted to warn other drivers it was there

[forde]

[pinkbits69]
