As for batteries, one can not be sure how long they will last, since I had the same make & battery fitted to my car and it did well, only that it was rather old and had its days, so I had to buy a new one. I am hoping that this one will also be as good as my previous one.

The terminals are standard car terminals,you also get 2 little red removable breather caps on the left & right side of the battery. It's a really sturdy battery. I think you can get alot of information about the battery online if you wanna find out if the battery is heavy duty? I personally rate Bosch products. I had the same Bosch drill for 26yrs all of my electrical appliances from kettles,hedge trimmers to washing machines are Bosch? I've haven't had any of the usual problems you get with other brands. I'll probably get a new car before I need another battery. Hope it answered you question **Q: is the battery the correct one for a skoda roomster** A: I would recommend that you check with a retailer such as Eurospares or Halfords to check as there are too many variables for me to respond with certainty ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bosch Battrey *by F***Z on 30 November 2025* Good price, good battery and value for money.
