Where Can I Get A Starter Battery For A R230 Mercedes Sl?

[ToraToraTora]

I tried a local battery specialist, Halfords, online search, eBay etc. an eBay seller had one but they were having a Turkish on the price. It's 062 35Ah EN 500 CCA. The car has 2 batteries a consumer and a smaller starter. Anyone out there with any ideas?

I had a good price from Eurocarparts for a Bosch battery some years ago but last time I needed a battery their price was silly (for the same car) and Halford's came out best.

I've *no* idea what a decent price would be - how's £85.20? -

Be quick on that link, in every browser I've tried, it jumps forward to a different (pricier) site called "Euro Car Parts". That also happened on a Liverpool-based site I looked at - strange.

Euro Parts always get a good deal from them

Yeah that Lion one is the one that's cream crackered, good price but if it's no good them false economy. here's the one I can fine on Ebay:

LIK that link goes to a place where the battery is £85, then suddenly diverts to Europarts where it's double that!

[ToraToraTora]

oops sorry you said that above!

[Lie-in King]

Hmmm, clicking on *any* battery on their home page -

jumps to "Euro Car Parts", so if you're interested, is it worth contacting them directly? -

Apologies, but I know zero about car batteries & can only offer layman's advice.

[ToraToraTora]

thanks LIK, I'm a bit wary of "lion" batteries that last one lasted < a year.

[ToraToraTora]

I just bought a VARTA let's hope that's better.

Try Carparts4less

They are owned by Eurocarparts, but often are cheaper.

[bhg481]

Less than a year - no guarantee, TTT?

[Lie-in King]

Fair play, I tried :-)

[ToraToraTora]

yes there was guarantee, sadly I bought that care with it in!

[Puzzled001]

Try Tayna Batteries,www.tayna.co.uk, extensive range and reasonable prices, very helpful staff, just bought a battery from them and they found the one I wanted

[ToraToraTora]

bhg, guarantee?, yes probably but I bought it with the car, I'm only going by the sticker on it.

[ToraToraTora]

ok thanks all

I wonder if it's worth going to a random Lion battery dealer and asking if there's anything they can do. With batteries the price they are you've nothing to lose.
