I don't think you have a battery that is 15 years old

I do have a 15 year old battery    I think its a world record 

I have had the car from 6 months old and still has the Original GM Battery on  and never been replaced 

She has been getting a little slower on turnover and battery I suspect now getting "Tyred !"  Green indicator on battery stopped being green a few years ago !

Blimey mate, you got your monies worth out of that one.

Just got a new GM battery for the Elite from the local dealers, £53 + vat. I bet it will not last 15 years, mind you I bet the car will be gone long before that 

I would be interested in the Gm part number and size of battery you have used ? (and how I can get one for that Price  )   

I am looking for a GM one for mine ideally same physical size (175x175x270(ish)).

Original one is a 66Ah, but have found reference to a GM 72AH one PT Num: 19023517.  Other than that, looks like its a GM 70Ah one part num: 9201470 but was more than your £53 +vat (£25 more  )

I hope for your sake that the retaining bolt doesnt shear off like mine did. needed to drill out and replace with a nut and bolt.

   I shall start to soak bolt now then.  Otherwise, I maybe seeing if I can get another 15 years out of the battery 

Cheers for heads up
