I used the Honey Google Chrome extension which found a discount voucher that got the price down to £115.04.

He says Porsche probably recommended 77amp but 85 is better.

Suggestion
85 vs 77 Ah will just take longer to run your battery down when you leave your headlights on.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi all, HNY!
My battery has gone flat and the garage says its done for.
I got it from Eurocarparts 2.5 yrs ago (supposedly guaranteed for 5 years but I am speaking to them about that).
It is a Type 096 Car Battery 780CCA Bosch Silver S5 12V 77Ah
Interestingly Sam at No.5 Garage
www.no5garage.co.uk
in Acton/Chiswick says he recommends an 85amp battery not 77amp to give more grunt.
He says Porsche probably recommended 77amp but 85 is better.
He recommends Excell batteries too.
Do we agree with the 85amp thing vs 77amp? Any reason not too?
I've got to order one ASAP !
Best
Edward
A battery with a higher CCA (cold cranking amps) figure has more grunt.
85 vs 77 Ah will just take longer to run your battery down when you leave your headlights on.
Of course the 85 likely has a higher CCA figure than the 77 but not always.
I went for one of these due to my battery going flat when left parked for prolonged periods.

The extra capacity has definitely helped with no problems since fitment. I used the Honey Google Chrome extension which found a discount voucher that got the price down to £115.04.

Perhaps.
I've had things from cp4l come in ecp boxes, they have the same stock and same website, same SKUs.
I've returned items to CP4L for warranty and received a refund cheque from ECP.
Ok I was bored and intrigued by ECP / CP4L.
CP4L is listed as a dormant company with this statement in their annual return:
"The company is dormant and has not traded in the period. The company was appointed as agent for Euro Car Parts Limited, with all sales and associated costs being reflected in the financial statements of the principal. There has been no other income or expenditure in the period. Any expenses have been met by the parent company."

So technically yes a different company, but order from CP4L and you are ordering from ECP.
Incidentally sounds like ECP are in hot water. They wewre taken over a few years back, and are now making big cuts and the founder (a Ugandan refugee) has just resigned.
