Battery - What Type?

[bobbyK]

I desperately need a new Battery as mine has just about packed up (I know, I know, I should have replaced it long before this!).

So with my wallet shaking in fear, I just went down to Halfrauds and picked up their application guide, which told me I needed a HB005. When I found one, it was HUUUUGE, lots bigger than the Battery that I have in the engine bay.

So, long story short, what type of Battery should I be asking for for my Gen 7? I won't be using Halfords as I will now pick one up tomorrow, but I can't see any sort of reference/model number on my battery anywhere.

Any Battery that will fit will do, Toyota petrol engines will start off any Battery. Used to work in a Factors, we had a Battery called an 041 that garages bought off us for Toyota Petrols. Small thing with small round lugs. Don't buy it in Halfords, call into your local factors, they will fit it for free too if you ask nicely.
