If a battery is returned due to incorrect size selection, return freight and associated costs will be the responsibility of the purchaser. Please refer to our full Terms & Conditions for complete details. 

While vehicle battery guides can be helpful, they are not always 100% accurate. As the name suggests, they are a guide only. The most reliable way to confirm fitment is to match the specifications and measurements of your existing battery.
