Default Battery
My Varta battery with it's 5yr warranty was getting weak after 4yrs. Barden who supplied it said it was fine but with some arguing gave me a full refund of £73. I ordered a Bosch from Eurocarparts for £53 with delivery. The battery is identical in every way except that it has a Bosch label stuck to the side. Beware out there.

I'm not sure what the OP's point is ?

The OEM battery is neither Bosch or Varta !

They are often made by the same factory to an industry standard template

Your acid wit fell a bit flat with that one.
