I put photos of my battery into gemini (it's reporting a battery error when trying to charge on a charger), and it gave me these specs
The Core Specifications to Give the Shop
Standard / Case Size: Ask for a DIN L2 (European standard casing).
Battery Type: This is an EFB (Enhanced Flooded Battery). This is crucial because it indicates your car likely has a Start-Stop system (or smart charging technology). Do not downgrade this to a standard maintenance-free (MF) battery, or it will fail prematurely.
Voltage: 12VCapacity: 60Ah (Amp-hours)
Cranking Power (CCA): 640A (EN) — This is the European standard rating shown in the picture
(SAE/GS) — This is the equivalent American standard rating shown on both
I was just wondering if it's better to go to a specialist battery supplier or Repco/Supercheap?
Look for the specifications. The Repco / Super Cheap websites normally provide you with the info for any car for the purpose. How accurate — that's the question. (Take a good look at the battery's stickers. There is everything in them u need to know about its specifications, tbh.)
To be short, if you can find a good match for your battery on their websites and the price is fair, so go there and they'll do a discount for your old battery as a trade in/up option.
I personally purchased a brand new one for my Kia Sportage 3 SL with this scheme. Pretty happy with the battery.
Cheers…
