Has anyone had any experience with batteries from ATS Euromaster?

Do you have stop start ? If not the spec could be wrong. A heavy duty battery to the right spec I would have thought. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years

Thanks dondiddy, that makes sense. Sorry model is wrong in my description it is a straight td4 not an 'e' variant.

Your 2008 car is not stop start, so this is larger capacity then needed but OK if it fits in the battery compartment. I must say though, there are cheaper alternatives, even AGM batteries.

When renewing my battery's on my vehicles I always just go for as big as the battery box will allow.

Do not mix "normal" batteries with AGR. The charging parameters are different and if you change from one to t'other the charging system should be reprogrammed by a dealer. Using a higher spec version of the same type is fine, indeed recommended. You might consider adding a second earth lead for added efficiency/peace of mind. Quite a few (rather elderly) threads on this site about this. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone

In the days when I had a company car I recall the transport manager sending out a message to all company car drivers saying how strange it was that quite a few cars and vans, when returned for replacement at about 3 years old, appeared to have batteries in them that were substantially older than the car. He was considering a scheme whereby the details of the original battery would be recorded with the vehicle records. 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
