cumgranosalum Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Although there isn't a huge variation, you'll need to specify the model of vehicle I think I paid about 2200 baht for my Navara last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul944 Posted July 27, 2015 Share Posted July 27, 2015 A brand battery (Varta) in the Netherlands costs about 80 euro. When buying you need to know Size length, width and heigth so it will fit. plus-pole location, so you cables with fit. Note some batteries have the Plus-pole left, some have them right. capacity so your car will start. Most battery shops know what you need if you tell them the brand, model and engine of your car. Please take your old battery to a carshop so it can be recycled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunBENQ Posted July 28, 2015 Share Posted July 28, 2015 Some arbitrary examples. http://www.bbautobattery.com/GSBattery_Water.html 2500 is a rule of thumb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KittenKong Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 Some arbitrary examples. http://www.bbautobattery.com/GSBattery_Water.html 2500 is a rule of thumb. I see that place does Bosch batteries. Are these imported or made in Thailand? If imported, are they made to suit Thai conditions? I used to buy Bosch batteries in Europe and I found them to be reliable and long-lasting even with winter temperatures regularly going down to -15C (-20C on occasions), but I dont expect that to happen often in Pattaya.

KhunBENQ Posted July 29, 2015 Share Posted July 29, 2015 About Bosch. Obviously manufactured in Thailand: Automotive components are manufactured in the Amata City Industrial Estate in Rayong, http://www.bosch.co.th/en/th/newsroom_9/news_9/news-detail-page_4672.php So you can be assured that they are fit for the local market/conditions, but not "Made in Germany". GS is offered everywhere. 3K is a supplier for some Mercedes cars (exported from Thailand to Germany). http://www.4evriders.org/2011/08/europe-bat-3k-wins-major-car-battery-contract-with-benz/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
