Guilia QF battery - recommendations ?

[Steve Campbell]

Battery is dead (4.5 years old so I guess it was due seeing as I don’t do much mileage either).

Recommendations for a replacement > Uk and fast delivery or big chain easy to pick up?

Anything to watch out for in swapping over ? First step, trying to get into the boot when it’s completely dead LOL

I’ve swapped them on Stelvio and Giulia (not QF) the Giulia is a quite awkward being in the rear quarter. Had all the dash lights on after but after a few starts all good. Videos on YouTube helped. I fitted a bigger capacity on the Stelvio but didn’t on the Giulia as it’s pretty tight.

Just to update, sorted. Getting a heavy battery into the slot without skinning knuckles is a challenge. Also, if car completely dead like mine was, getting into the boot is fun :-) .. just to check what size the battery was etc ..then, you can t lock the back doors if you open them LOL

Dashboard lit up like a Xmas try to start with but reset (lock to lock steering wheel etc) plus a few starts resolved everything.

Alfa wanted about £360 for a battery, I went to Tayna for ~£180 > A5 Varta Silver Dynamic AGM 019 Car Battery 12V 95Ah
