Battery

[JimT]

Hi all

Anyone got any recommendations for a battery for 4.2 granturismo?
Literally after 7 days or so car starts but battery kind of faulters for a second but like I said car starts.
Then get handbrake failure warning and it can't be turned off together with a power steering failure.
Let car run a few mins restart car, all good.
Thinking low charge in battery.
Battery was fitted last June by dealer so hasn't lasted long. ( assuming it was new when fitted ). Can't recall offhand what the make is but it has a picture of a bull on it.
Anyway if anyone has had a good experience with a certain make of battery recommendations greatly welcome!
Thanks

U probs need a trickle charger like a CTEK, and do you have a NAVTRACK fitted? They drain batteries when their internal one runs down.

I've had the same issue in the past. by yourself a CTEK charger and keep the car on charge, this solves all the problems that you are having.

Thankyou for your replies.
Will look at the trickle charger option.
Don't know if car has Navtrack fitted or not as purchased car secondhand. Don't mean to seem like a dumbarse here but how would you know.
The car is an older one, 2008.

I got mine from Charles Hurst, they were very helpful. I think I read almost all have Navtrack fitted, but it does seem to be an option.

Here's mine
