Thank for the recommendation for the exide premium. Changed mine today. I don't know if it's physically possible but it seems to actually go better. Replaced original May 07 battery, case had cracked and was leaking acid, it feels about 1/3 empty!

It's weird but mine seems to go better when it's clean and shiny

They go better at night when they can breath the cool air too.

I'm looking at batteries at the moment. What holds the battery in place?? On some battery specs I've seen for the FL2 it states "hold down B13" ? Does the battery just slot into the battery tray?? Black MY2013 SD4 GS Auto, Wood Company Armrest, Freel2 sticker.

slots into the tray, and to the left there is a long screw, which screws down a metal retaining clip, bit of a fiddle getting back on for a minute or so

Dont know whether its my imagination or not after reading this thread but my one seemed slow turning over in the morning and as it is still on the original battery I thought I'd change it anyway to be on the safe side. Got one of these http://www.gsfcarparts.com/971aa0968 but not from them. I used my supplier and I know they can be sourced cheaper if you look about for them but I paid £66 delivered to me - trade, which I didn't think was too bad.  Past: FL2 TD4 HSE Auto
