Citi Golf Battery

Post by Little D »

Hi Guys

Just a quick question.

I have been to VW and see they have these economy batteries.

I see the smaller size 44AH.

I would like to know if it would be suitable for the citi golf.

I just have one 3200w amp and sub.

Everything else is standard..

Thanks

Just out of curiosity what do they charge for this? I have heard that the best choice in batteries are Varta, they come with a 2 year guarantee and is also reasonably priced. I have 1 in my Audi and it hasn't given me a days worth of issues, they also recommend it because the plates inside is thicker or something like this for the sound application. Could be wrong but this is what I was told.

Thanks Guys

@ Pieta , They priced less than what you pay for one at Battery center etc.

Was quoted R550 odd for it

Very good price...especially from the agents.

Also if looking for a battery with a 2 year guarantee try a Bosch battery. Granted they are a bit more pricey than others but if maintained well they last well over 5 years in my personal experience on different brands of vehicles.

+1 for Varta, the only battery I use in my daily drives, although they can be bloody expensive especially in the larger sizes...

they are awesome batteries though, well worth the price at the end.
