 Car battery. How old? - bathtub tom
Just to prove what a tough old girl the Kia was, I took this photo before she left. The battery was in the car when I bought it, never needed charging and never gave any problem.

So how old would it have been?

Was it a Yuasa battery, bathtub?

To be honest, I haven't a clue. IIRC the manufacturers name was on the side, up against the inner wing.

Here's a more general picture, doesn't help, does it?

I'd guess manufactured in mid/late 2000 hence the Charge By sticker for April 01.

It's not a yasua by the looks of it, nice original condition under the bonnet when you blow the pic up to 300%

Apart from the rust :)

I looked upon it as the patina of age.
