Had both the above and both failed, the Bosh within a year - they offer a 5 year gaurantee but dont replace the battery if it gives up the ghost, you simply get a cut of the time remaining. I feed mine cheap Lion batteries now (Euro Car Parts)- Β£40 cheaper and last just as long.PS, the dearest Lion for a Meriva is just over Β£80 as far as I can see.

harrycatcat1 Posted April 24, 2023 Report Share Posted April 24, 2023 Whatever you buy make sure it's close enough to take back because carriers won't return them. I bought one off ebay and it had a 5 year warranty then it went faulty, no parcel company would return it π³π³ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
