I've put my 07 TDV8 in for some work and asked the garage to change the battery for me while they're doing a few jobs. I supplied a Bosch S5 110. He says it is the wrong battery and doesn't have the correct cranking capability. I bought the battery from ECP having read a few posts on FFRR, so thought it was the best one for the job. Have I screwed up? Advice welcome before I buy twice.

Oooops

on the battery thread, I have searched but couldn't find the answer, is it the same battery for the bmw v8? 2003, I get the odd hdc message on start up, but have only been doing short runs?
cheers hammie 2003 ffrr v8 vogue

Short runs a killer for our Full Fats, I put mine on charge periodically now or a nice long run ( 25 min + ) after I had a trans fail safe message, not had that come up for a few weeks now and the FF gets used daily  If it dont work.......burn it!

If the IId tool cant fix it.......burn the FF.

If the FF cant be fixed......buy a Land Cruiser!

If the LC cant be fixed..............................................BUY a horse !!

I put the Bosch s5 020 into my v8 Hammie approx 16 months ago and have not had a problem since with it and its been left sitting in car parks a few times for long periods and no problems there either.Its worth the money,peace of mind and the 5 year replacement warranty is a no brainer.I do same as Welshdragon though with a periodic charge up at home to maintain battery health

According to the workshop manual for the 4.4 v8 petrol

90Ah/720A for vehicles with standard equipment
110Ah/850A for vehicles with optional equipment
