Good deal? In this hulu place didn't have Century DIN 65 |

Last 4+ years on my BMW 520. But that was e39, old technology, not much electronics. On Bimer the battery is in the boot, nice and cool. Our Prince engine compartment is too hot, too compact, heat is trapped, not good for battery life!is it true VARTA battery had a longer life span....my brother polo gti stil didnt change the battery since he bought the polo on 2013.....so impressive the the VARTA brand... RM330 for DIN 66 is good price. QUOTE(qpgoh @ May 11 2016, 05:59 PM) DIN75 😱😱😱 Don't buy battery at Peugeot SC, cut throat price. Battery shop price usually,DIN55 - $300, DIN66 - $330. Try that Yokohama Gold DIN66, $280 is very good price!The Peugeot center want to sell me DIN65 Delcor for RM540. I just ask the shop nearby my stay, Yokohama Gold DIN66 is about RM280. Good deal? In this hulu place didn't have Century DIN 65 Pug eats up battery. It's too small capacity for the amount of electronics. Another reason is the battery location is not healthy for good life span.

QUOTE(syafiq87 @ May 11 2016, 09:21 PM) the battery a bit longer but perfectly fit on our existing box....DIY this evening.....make sure the battery wide is same with din55 The technician try very hard still can't fit in, width no issue but DIN66 is really longet another half inches.I think because of this reason they told me to used DIN55. |

QUOTE(qpgoh @ May 12 2016, 06:54 AM) Hmm, my battery case only around 10.5 inches the max, and DIN66 is around 11 inches, that's why not fit. 408 battery compartment is designed for DIN 55. Most DIN 66 are just a bit too long. However there are some batteries ,DIN 66, that do fit into 408 battery compartment. My 408 is bought on 2014-apr, why different size? QUOTE(syafiq87 @ May 11 2016, 11:20 PM) What battery is this bro?I'm also using DIN66,some unknown brand, last only 6months. Managed to claim replacement foc. When this dies I'll change back to Delkor or Yokohama. These 2 last 2years for me. This post has been edited by SKYjack: May 12 2016, 07:56 AM |
