KZN130 Batterys - wow.

Yesterday my batteries finally gave up the ghost.
My truck is a 1994 - i've had it 8 years and its been in the UK 9 years now and the original Jap batteries have finally died. Not too bad! 90'000 miles 18 years old and many short trips.
Both replaced today with Bosch at what I think is the bargain price of £132 inc' from a Toyota specialist in Norwich on Sprowston Rd.
TBH I've never been so happy to spend £132 in a funny sort of way..

Pretty good going for a pair of original batteries, wonder what the record is?

Had to replace mine the other year & decided on Bosch aswell.

I only realised how old they were when I removed then and saw exactly what they were. We could have a battery record breakers

I may have the most expensive..not proud of it. One optima red top and one yellow top..

At the opposite end of the scale, we found the batteries in our LN130 failed after just four years - took the truck to Halfords and found the 2008-fitted batteries were down to 30% capacity and the truck was a right b***er to start in the mornings. I have no idea why the batteries died so quickly, but the truck's been fine with new batteries.

My little '99-model Fiesta, with 124,000 miles, still has its original battery, and is still strong enough to leave things charging overnight ^_^
