Brake warning light on startup

The correct battery is a must.You say beeps but do you see a brake warning signal on the driver display.

Yes, Brake warning in red keeps flashing and beeps 3 times. All the same as before.

Looks like the new battery has a lesser startup power.

many thanks

Still having a nightmare with this. As it stands -

Old battery (original) - 12V 340A 70AH (570A CCA)

1st new battery - 065 66AH (495 CCA) - still getting beeps mulitple times on startup

2nd new battery - 067 66AH (580 CCA) - still the same.

Does anyone know if this second new battery is acceptable for the car. Startup power (CCA) is higher than my original but the capacity (AH) is slightly lower.

Just want to know should I return both and get my money back and look elsewhere for the exact one. Halfords list four batteries for my car some are more powerful than all of the above and others are less powerful.

Went back to the garage for a larger battery and the mechanic said that there would be no point in anything bigger as the second one he gave me is more than powerful enough adding that its mostly for diesels.

I notice the beeps are becoming more frequent but still stop after about 10mins of driving.

Is there anyway to just turn off the beeping sound?
