Battery Help !
 
Hey guys, and or ladies
I'm buying an after market Bosch battery for my 2002 C70, the stock battery seems to slide into the battery bracket, do I need to buy new brackets etc. ?

Thanks

Do you mean that the battery slides aroundin the bracket? If yes, then I would look at replacing it, or Fixing it.

You need a 47 series battery. There is a clip that locks onto the edge of the battery tray that holds the battery still.

It doesn't slide, it has the original battery and bracket and sits tight. The problem I see is the original battery $350.00 has some sort of hard plastic knobs on the bottom and you set them in slots located on the original bracket and pull the battery to the side, this locks the battery into the bracket. A small hard plastics clamp then clamps the battery from the bottom flanges to the bracket also. I'm afraid the new Bosch won't have the bottom knobs or flanges. Hard to discribe?

Most batteries should have those lips so to say on the bottom of the battery.
