badgers_nadgers 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 I've just had my battery replaced by a national exhaust and battery type place. I noticed that the old battery had a sort of material wrapped round it. Now it's been replaced. Does anyone know if the jacket belonged to the car or the battery?

Bigdar 62 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 I think it's a wrap around, so it should belong to whichever battery you have in there. I'm ready to be proved wrong though Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
badgers_nadgers 1 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 I reckon you're right. If so, anyone know where I can get a replacement? It really winds me up when people do this. I can see the gap between tray edge and battery. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LJ_GQV 115 Report post Posted August 15, 2013 It is part of the car, they must have just taken the battery off and left it on the battery instead of swapping it onto the new 1 so they could still have it. the other thing is, they might have changed the battery and not had the same size battery to go back in (height/width i mean) so it wouldn't have fitted. i might have the 1 of my GTA still if you are stuck with out 1. id have to have a look for it though as i don't know where it would be (or if i still even have it) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

badgers_nadgers 1 Report post Posted August 19, 2013 Maybe I'll not bother then if that's all it's for. I just like to keep things fairly original! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
