Which Battery ?

rjainv · 26th July 2020, 12:13

My Jazz petrol needs a battery replacement, however I am a bit confused.

1. I straight went to batterybhai.com and looked up the battery for my car. It showed 35AH as the right choice.

2. I looked up the car owners manual. It shows 30AH as the right choice for Indian model.

3. I tried to cross check with actually attached battery that came from factory. It is fully covered with holder cover etc, and I didn't want to unbolt etc and leave that work for battery replacement guy. From what is visible, I could make out it is SF-Sonic model 34B ??L-MF.

I am guessing it means 34 AH?

Attaching the pictures that I took.

Can any of Jazz owners comment please?
Also, I see amaron battery layout is different than current battery that I have. Will it create problem with more wire twist etc?

Your car needs an L layout battery. A 35Ah battery would be better than what you currently have.

Why don't you get it from a local battery store? Their prices are actually lower than those showcased online.

Thanks, I already got it from battery hai.com.
New one is 42B20L, still 35 AH but higher perf and 1 cm longer than original one.

Didn't want to wander around looking for local vendors, though this was still fulfilled by local vendor who had tie up with batterybhai.com

My daily driving isn't too much. Car is driven about 15-18 kms to and fro on every alternate day. Rest of the time it's sitting idle and I know that's not good for the battery health.

That's why this is going to be the third battery purchase in 5 years of ownership of this car.

I replaced the stock one from service center in 2020 (they gave me early degrade discount) and after two years which is right now the current battery also has very low power. It struggles to start the car during cold starts.

So, what type/brand battery is best for Compass especially that's not being driven too much?

Hello everyone. I hope this is the correct forum to post this thread. I have a Ford Ecosport Titanium + model which I had purchased in December 2017. The car battery seems to be running out of juice now. Twice the car refused to start and I had to jump start it. The odometer is near 60,000 kms.

I need advise to get a new battery for my car. Which battery I should go for and if there is a checklist that I should have in place before buying a new battery, kindly advise me here.
