Driveways in Arabian Ranches 2 hold a lot of large SUVs and seven-seaters. These carry bigger batteries than a small saloon, and many European ones use an AGM battery placed in the boot or under a seat and linked to a battery sensor. That car must get AGM again, and the new battery should be registered.
We ask for the make, model and year before leaving Arjan, and a photo of the old battery label helps. On the driveway the technician measures resting voltage, cranking strength and alternator output first. If the readings are fine and the car was only drained by sitting, he says so and you keep your battery.
