Flashback Posted May 2, 2017 Share Posted May 2, 2017 Well it looks like after 12 years of service it might well be time to look for a new battery to replace the stock one. I'm looking at probably swapping it out for a Bosch S4: http://www.eurocarpa...3c834d78 Just before I do, does any one have any alternatives that they would recommend over this one? Lighter ones, different battery type, manufacturer, etc. Cheers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
