Took it to maplin today and as usual i got the 16 year old ackney filled teenager who can just about tie his shoes and we found batterys but none had voltage markings. What does mah mean

Abbreviation for Milliampere-hour, which is how batteries are rated for capacity power. The higher the mAh rating, the more powerful the batteries.

Thats out of the factory BMW alarm isn't it? i had the same problem, i bought the last one in stock in Bracknell. It was the siren complete as bmw won't sell the batteries on their own!

Germany may have some in stock, it came with a new bracket,nuts,bolts,2new keys and a long length of loom

You could try CPC for a replacement battery, or RS components.

Napkins should be able to help so go back and fins a senior member of staff!

That looks like 3 soldered together. Trim the blue plastic off (without destroying the numbers) and get the number off the face of the cell.

How does this one compare for size?
