Hi Guys my original battery that was on the car when i got it, lasted 10 years, i bought one from Vauxhalls to replace it just coming up to 4 years now, it still starts the car, but if you test it, its marginal with two different testers, i left the sidelights on for 2 hours about a year ago and that flattened the battery, i left a radio on in the car overnight and that flattened it as well...so although it is usable it prob need changing, so i cant see that Vauxhall batteries are any better than any other....just interested in any comments...its only a 3 cylinder Corsa C, 2001, 1 litrre...it's an 012 battery, there are no drains it and charging system tested ok..........from Fred in Essex. 4 years now, it still starts the car, but if you test it, its marginal with two different testers, i left the sidelights on for 2 hours about a year ago and that flattened the battery, i left a radio on in the car overnight and that flattened it as well...so although it is usable it prob need changing, so i cant see that Vauxhall batteries are any better than any other....just interested in any comments from Fred in Essex
