The battery itself is good quality and the packaging was excellent (very well protected). My only niggle, and I suspect that this is more the fault of the eBay search engine, it came up as a correct fit for the Jeep Patriot. Basically, the Jeep battery has the positive on the left and not right, as it drops into the tray facing into the engine compartment and the positive is on the right with only enough give to connect that way round As mentioned, the battery is fine and holds its charge well, just doesn’t fit the Jeep Patriot

Unfortunately, this battery was made out-of-specification for an 063 battery and was too tall, so wouldn't fit the application for which it was bought. There are strict parameters for these specifications, only the length of the battery varying by a few millimetres between manufacturers, but this one was at least 10mm too tall, possibly having been made in an 012 battery case, which is virtually the same but about 10-15mm taller. This doesn't sound like much, but this Autolite battery wouldn't fit a Ford Fiesta, which has a non-adjustable top battery clamp so wasn't fit for purpose as leaving it off would be dangerous, failing any future MoT tests. The dimensions of the battery were printed on the listing, but were incorrect, incidentally. If your application is height-sensitive, it's probably best to avoid this battery as even the stated dimensions are likely to be erroneous. Read full review

Exactly what was required. Unable to review longevity as only just fitted but the 4 year warranty has provided peace of mind.

This 063 battery is specified for Punto 2 but it did not fit into the battery box The box allows for about 190mm length but this battery is 207 mm ! I had to discard the plastic battery box and I was able to clamp it down securely on the battery tray. So it’s not a 5 min job

Worked great and the charge indicator light is very useful. Held charge long enough to turn an old car engine over for longer than a minute to pump fuel through. Would buy again.
