New battery:)

I've finally replaced my battery! Last winter the car would give a warning that voltage is getting low whenever I'd start in below freezing weather, but with a battery charger I somehow made it through the summer. Now I started getting warnings even when it was +10°C outside and the battery was trickle charging all night, so out it went. It turned out to be still be original, from May 2005, just as I suspected. 7.5 years isn't bad, especially if it survived 4 Polish winters (previously the car lived in southern France). I planned on getting a larger battery than the 64Ah original, I found a nice 72Ah model, but it turned out that a larger one just won't fit. So the new battery has the same parameters as the old:/
