Hi, I need a new battery for my Civic. I remember being recommended a Bosch S4, but there seems to be 2 sorts.

One with 063 and the other is 155. Does it make any difference as one is a tenner cheaper...

Cheers

The numbers are to do with size I believe :)

Yeah just noticed the only difference is the size. So I'll measure the battery space in civic tomorrow as I think I've got a bit of room with the current battery and will see what will fit nicely.

When I put my reg in, it only recommends the dearer of the S4 batteries, but yeah, will measure tomorrow and see what I can get.

Remember to not just account for size but also cranking power etc.. also look up reviews for batteries in the same model line and see if there is a certain battery recommended for your car :)

I've reserved the one Euro car parts recommended through my reg and will go get it tomorrow. I've only heard good things about Bosch batteries, plus has 4 years warranty anyway!

Cheers
