I need yet another replacement battery for my L322. Last time I fitted a Yuasa 5000, which replaced the previous yuesa 3000. I do have a parasitic drain of about 250ma, which I need to be to the bottom of, but what battery is the current recommendation for this model?

AGM's are for the 405's is my understanding.

I just fitted one of these to my mates TD6 2006 RR and it’s been great so far and cranks it over like it’s starting a moped.

Bosch and Varta are the same factory, only the bosch is more dosh. VARTA is what LR fitted in the factory, so instead of fitting a LR battery with a little Vatra badge and a big price tag, fit Varta battery without the LR bit and save around 50%

So why do the 2011-2012 ffrr's charge at 14.7 volts? Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

I am still very much drawn to an AGM after doing lots of online research. I don't think the charging regime of a 2005 L322 will cause an AGM any problems. Having said that, Miggit does put up a very compelling argument for the Varta above, so I will give the Varta a whirl this time and try an AGM next, if I need to replace it again. Thanks all for your input. RR History 1988 2.4td Classic 1999 to 2020 1992 3.9efi Westminster Classic 2004-2005 2005MY L322 3.0TD6 Vogue 2016 to current |

I had an 020 AGM in (Varta H15), that failed within 12 months. This is in a 2007 SC. If you go AGM make sure you can return it locally. |
