Replacing LB Battery - what Ah & spec AGM?
- Thread starter keith baker
- Start date
This is an interesting thread for me at the minute…. I have exactly the same battery as @jordanL and last week I had two or three consecutive days when my van didn’t start up as it normally does…. normally I turn the key and it fires straight up, but last week it would crank over a few times first. Is it new battery time I wondered?
When I bought my van it was two years old…. I’ve had it now for four years and not touched the battery, so assuming it was the original when I got it, that battery is now six years old.
Can I ask you clever chaps a question or two please? If I were to replace the above said battery (like for like) and couldn’t get it coded straight away, would it throw any fault codes? And after a while would the van just accept the new battery without coding?

If you replace like with like, there shouldn't be any fault codes, but the charging system will not know that a new battery has been fitted and adapt to that until it has been installed for some time.
However, if you upgrade but fitting a higher capacity battery or an AGM battery, it would be advisable to recode. Carista is a relatively cheap and worthwhile tool to have and you can use it to recode.
It will work, its just that the charging strategy will not be optimal
Many thanks for your reply Sir
So the F21 model isnt in stock from TAYNA, but they recommend the following:

Upgrading Starter Battery - how to guide
My van (April 2017 T28) is fitted with a Moll battery. I am experiencing some issues with it not starting after a few days sitting on the drive. Now this could be due to the tracker I have fitted draining it but I doubt it, I'll do some drain current tests before taking the plunge. If I were to...

Is this the correct battery? ( I have a Amazon gift card)
Bosch S5A13 - car battery - 95A/h - 850A - AGM technology - adapted for vehicles with Start/Stop system - Type 019 https://amzn.eu/d/hjmCZTZ

That looks like a higher capacity (85ah Vs 70ah) so you may need to change the battery code if you have start stop
Hi all,
2016 T6 Kombi Highline.
Garage told me battery at 60% and wants replacing (It is a bit sluggish starting sometimes).
Existing Battery is a Varta, VW want £330 for a new one. The original model is no longer available and finding exact match seems minefield.
The Yuasa 9096 is a an AGM, seems 70ah instead of the 68ah original and dimensions look more or less identical.
Has anyone used this Yuasa successfully or has any other recommendations, please?
