12.6 volts is okay...
https://www.autobatteries.com/en-us/...tarts-your-car But if your battery has a bad cell, it could still measure a good voltage but collapse under load. I would measure the voltage with the ignition on (i.e. and lights, heater fan etc.) it drops significantly then it would look like a new battery is needed. If your car was little used during lockdown, this would appear to have shortened the life of many a healthy battery. As for a new battery, dealers can be surprisingly good value and Volvo batteries are excellent - also try Tayna batteries online but stick with a decent brand like Bosch, Varta, Exide, Yuasa, etc. and always check the specs - often cheaper options (Banner, Lion etc.) have lower capacities (storage - Ah, power - CCA) - you get what you pay for.

Depening on how urgently you need to use the car, Tayna usually deliver in 48 hours. Bosch S5 seems to be a firm favorite on here, I've also used the Exide options on our commercial and agricultural vehicles and I'm pleased with them (Tractor, Horsebox etc.)

plus one for the bosch battery iv had mine on 6 yrs an still going strong. fully charge your new replacment before fitting and check the alternator output when fitted . a battery optimiser would help if you use your car infrequently .

Worth investing in a battery tester to remove doubt.

I'll second/third tayna batteries. Price is at a premium but I did buy 2 AGM specialty batteries for my import truck, which were in stock! Delivered by the next day.

Does your car have auto-start/stop and therefore an AGM battery?
I purchased my 2013 V70 a few weeks ago. After 24 hours, there was a battery warning on the dash. I charged the AGM battery using my AGM charger, and next morning it was warning again. Battery only 3 years old, with a 5 year warranty (no receipt). I replaced it, and then discovered there is a battery 'reset' procedure. Now forgive me if this is incorrect, but from what I gather, the charging profile is different for an older battery than it is for a new one. If you don't reset the system after installing the new battery, it may not get the full charge cycles it needs. My working theory is that as the previous owner had Halfords change the battery, the inevitable 12 year old who did it was very unlikely to have reset the Battery Management System... roll on a few years, and the car thinks the installed battery it going for a world record and is not charging it correctly. This is what I followed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iu9z5m78Szw It is of course possible that my old battery failed prematurely... but I'm questioning it now. Just a thought. Folks with more knowledge my correct my understanding, which is basic.
