I'm fairly certain I need a new engine battery for my 2006 Ducato 2.8. What in the opinion of all here is the best battery to buy to keep older diesel motors starting from cold ? Make and spec.

Halfrauds do a battery with a 5 yr warranty. If it fails no questions asked or testing carried out. No brainer really.

Basically buy the biggest to fit the space, circa £100

Halfords are Yuasa, great batteries. If not that, then Varta.

Impressed with Varta, replaced the battery in our smart four two last week, it was the original battery from 2008!
