Technical How to replace Abarth Battery?

[shae]

Can anyone let me know if I can replace battery without a trip trip dealer?
What should I ask for and are there ones better than others?

Battery dies if car not started immediatly you get in:bang: Could there be anything else that could be causing the drain?

Had a scary moment yesterday- steering failed whilst driving,after stopping and restarting prob went away

2003 5dr Abarth

thanks Shae

If I was you I'd change the battery anyway. The cost is going to be a lot less than any damage caused to on-board electronics through fast charge/jumping techniques used to get the car running.

Changing the battery is pretty straight forward and risk free as long as you make clean breaks and clean connections on the terminals (remove -ve first)
