New Battery Supplied & Fitted in Selly Oak
Battery supplied and fitted at your Selly Oak address — correct chemistry, coded where needed, old unit recycled. Van Jumpstart included, 24/7.
Choosing a battery is not just about physical size. Capacity in amp-hours, cold cranking amps, terminal layout, hold-down type and chemistry all have to match, and getting any one wrong causes problems weeks later rather than immediately.
Commercial vans park up cold overnight in Selly Oak and refuse to start when the temperature drops. That's parasitic drain plus an ageing battery — a jumpstart on the spot beats a tow every time.
Around Selly Oak the common jobs are morning no-starts on the yard, lunch-break dead batteries at customer sites, and end-of-day flatlines after tail-lift or refrigeration use.
Recent fittings nearby
Recent job nearby: a car in Selly Oak where a previously fitted battery was one case size too small — the hold-down had never been secured. Correct unit fitted and clamped properly.
Recent job nearby: an on-site AGM fitting near A38 Bristol Road, coded to the BMS with stop-start confirmed working before leaving.
Specification, coding and fixing
- Terminals are cleaned and treated, the hold-down is torqued properly, and the old battery is taken away for recycling.
- AGM and EFB units are registered to the vehicle's battery management system where fitted.
- Battery registration/coding done on the OBD for vans that need it (Sprinter, Crafter, T6, Custom)
- Every van jumpstart finishes with a charging-system reading, so the same fault does not reappear next week.
Where we fit
student HMOs in the area means most fittings are kerbside or driveway jobs rather than garage work, which suits a mobile operation.
Locally that means the streets between Selly Oak and Birmingham, with access via A38 Bristol Road and a practical radius reaching Birmingham (~3 mi) and Smethwick (~3 mi).
Battery fitting questions
Q.What warranty comes with the battery?
Two to four years depending on the type fitted — standard flooded, EFB or AGM — with the paperwork issued at the vehicle.
Q.Will I lose my radio code and settings?
Not with memory retention in place, which is used as standard on any vehicle that needs it.
Q.Do you take the old battery away?
Yes, every time, for proper recycling. Nothing is left behind.
Q.Do you cover Selly Oak and the B29 area for this?
Yes. Selly Oak is inside our routine coverage from Oldbury via A38 Bristol Road, roughly 3 miles from Birmingham. We cover it alongside Birmingham and the surrounding streets.
Q.My van cranks slowly then dies — is that the battery?
Usually yes, but sometimes it's the starter drawing too much current or a bad earth. We test all three on the driveway before recommending a replacement.
Q.What if the van battery keeps going flat every week?
That's parasitic drain — usually a dashcam, tracker or aftermarket electrics wired to permanent live. We do a milliamp draw test and identify the circuit.
Fitted where the car is
