What to know before buying
Listing details to confirm
The listing gives dimensions as 27.8D x 19W x 17.5H centimetres, while its specification text gives 278 x 175 x 190 mm. These represent the same measurements in a different order, but confirm the battery footprint, height and terminal layout against the vehicle’s requirements before buying. Its 80 Ah and 740 CCA claims are stated separately in listing text, not as values from one consistent specification block. Customer feedback reports both long and very short service life, so battery longevity is not assured by the stated engine-start claim.

Customer feedback highlights perceived good quality, fit and value, but reports on reliability differ. Some customers describe extended use while others report failure after only a few months, and battery life is also criticised, including reports of it dying after two days. This matters for buyers relying on a starter battery: the listed 80Ah capacity and 740A starting current describe the specification, not a guarantee of service life. Aggregate ratings lean positive overall, but do not resolve those reported longevity concerns.
Positive themes
- Customers praise the perceived battery quality and fit.
- Some customers consider it good value for money.
Negative themes
- Some customers report the battery dying after two days.
Mixed feedback
- Reports of reliability range from use lasting up to 2 years and 5 months to failure after three months.
