Default Replacement Battery .....

Hi Guys,

What is the current view on battery replacement - any recommended suppliers and prices?

Mine is on the way out and I would prefer to buy before it fails completely.

Thanks

Jim

Just had a Varta fitted this morning. seems fine. 40 quid from a small independant dealer in Alnwick, called Donaldsons. Tried Hi-Q first, they had a Bosch waiting for me but it was too wide, then another that fitted but the terminals were the wrong way round. shop around for a Varta in my opinion...
