New battery
Well where do I start.
First off I’m on holidays down near Tiverton/Taunton way and god I’ve had the week from hell.
1) Pulled off where my caravan is seasoned and left the bloody skylight open, fixed no damaged.
2) Got to the site and pulled up and noticed something flapping in my near side mirror, got out and nearly fell on the floor, lost one wheel off my caravan.
3) Took a drive the way we came and found the wheel 2 miles down the road.
4) New hub, hub nut, wheel, bolts not amused £450 gone.
5) One morning car would not start, AA out battery but ok to get home they said.
6) Went to Curry’s Taunton left back door open for dog so wife could watch him, yes I forgot battery flat.
7) Walked to Halfords they was good enough to walk with us over road with a battery booster to start car, nope no good.
So that meant a new battery and at £160 trade not amused at all plus a £20 socket set.
So do I have to change the battery settings with my IIDTool?
The battery is the Halfords 019AGM Start/Stop AGM 12V 85Amps / 95Amp capacity. Don’t know why a stop/start was chosen my car doesn’t have it.
I’ve had a look at the CCF file and it does not have any of those settings it’s set to H8HD 90AH 950 re these correct?
Thanks all.
Why wait, just go for it and enjoy life.

I think I'm right in saying that at some point, LR only fitted AGM batteries. In theory, they're no more expensive over expected lifetime than a standard lead-acid one..

…. and the bright side should be that you’ve got a 5 year warranty with it.
(My Yuasa AGM from Halfords in Dec certainly did).

Warranty yes that’s handy but I presume I don’t need to do anything at all via the IIDTool.
