Hi, my car doesnt have the right battery on it,
Can someone tell be what battery I need

Thanks

if you don't know what battery it needs then how do you know that it's got the wrong one on it?

Whats the model number of the one you have?

 

[Dave8]

Because the previous owner has used bits of wood to pack the clamp onto the battery!!


So that would say its not the right one

 

[And@fcm]

i believe this is the model you want HB072 then

Thanks

To be fair the clamps are a pain the rear so I used a strip of plastic to hold mine tight and I have the right battery, the plastic acts as a lever to clamp it before the bottom end of the rod falls out the hole, the plastic I used is only about 10mm

I've used the halfords HB054 as a standard replacement

could be worth measuring the tray that way he'll get the size he wants to fill
