Thread: Starter Battery TD5

I thought there would have been an adaptor pack but my car need to be jump started to get there so I didn't want to run the risk of stopping & starting looking for the terminals. I even asked the guys there if they had anything & they weren't sure. When they suggested another type of battery saying this "should" be ok, I sort of lost confidence & wanted out of there!! No one had mentioned this battery in the other posts so I just wanted peace of mind on the recommendations.

thx

Yes and here are some pictures of part number 4C-5637. Each battery I have bought I have been asked if I want them.

Yes they are slightly higher than other batteries however I have found that by securing the battery cover by the front screw in clip and then by the rear clips tha cover will sit in place. Yes it does have a bulge over the negative terminal but personally I am happy to live with that as I have had a good run with these batteries.

Not sure why they did not know of the screw on adaptor pack. However you ended up with a battery you are happy with and the vehicle is on the road. Good it sorted out for you.
