Excellent purchase experience So far so good, hopefully this battery lasts the course. 05 May 2012
Very good product Easy to fit. Has made a real difference to start ups as we do a lot of short journies. 4 year guarantee is excellent as it should cover the expected life of the battery 26 March 2012
Great battery My car battery died, had no idea how old it was so got this new one from Halfords, reserved it online and paid in store, the girl in the store was very helpful and informed me that Halfords would dispose of the old battery (one less headache). Anyway got the battery home and fitted it and now my car is alive again, and start and runs better than ever. Next day took the old battery in, shown my reciept and they accepted my old battery for disposal, job done! 18 March 2012
Great Excellent battery, very pleased with it. Car starts better than it ever did before! 21 February 2012
12V Calcium Car Battery HCB072 with 4 Year Guarant The extra cold cranking amps (CCA) are sure helping crank my LR disco on the cold mornings. Doing what it claims to do, long may it continue! Good battery, worth the extra £'s, especially if you live rurally/colder climates. 24 December 2011
Halfords Car Battery How can you go wrong with a 4 year warranty, they wouldn't offer it if they didn't expect it last much longer. This was much cheaper than the battery offered by the Mazda dealer and they were only giving a 2 year warranty. 09 October 2011
Well worth the few pounds extra Impressed with these calcium car batteries. Even on these really cold mornings there's lots of power to get a big 3.0 litre diesel going straight away 19 December 2010
good battery A battery with a four year guarantee has got to last well over four years,Halfords wouldent give it otherwise.My last battery from elsewhere lasted 18mths.This one will probably last longer than my old landrover. 18 December 2010

Discharge

I have one of these batteries which was purchased in january 2009, when initially fitted it was brilliant. Now if i do not use my car for 3 days the battery is too flat to start my car. The alternator charges at 13.4v with all consumers turned on (blower, lights, heated window etc), there is a 0.03 amp current draw after 2 minutes of locking car up. The battery was tested in spring and found to be 73% charged (after being driven for 5 hours solid during daytime, ie. no lights on) which seems poor to me. The vehicle is generally in daily use, is it possible there could be a defective cell or two in the battery? Also cannot find receipt but can track exact date by transaction through bank.

Also I use a carcoon to protect my classic car when not in use. This has a battery management system that feeds a constant trickle charge. Can this be used with the calcium battery type?

Yes Halfords Calcium batteries can be charged with a normal battery charger. Your trickle charger should be compatible but check with the charger manufacturer first.

Answer: 
Quote from Wikipedia:
"Car batteries using lead-antimony plates would require regular watering top-up to replace water lost due to electrolysis on each charging cycle. By changing the alloying element to calcium, more recent designs have lower water loss unless overcharged. Modern car batteries have reduced maintenance requirements, and may not provide caps for addition of water to the cells. Such batteries include extra electrolyte above the plates to allow for losses during the battery life."

I think this means, in short, that the Calcium batteries tend to have a longer lifespan and require less maintenance.
