Default S2000 battery

I believe my battery is on its last legs, it Goes flat in around 3 days when the car is alarmed.

What's people recommendations on a replacement?

If you had searched for 'replacement battery', you would have found that an OEM one from Honda is best...reasonably priced too.

I've found the Honda dealer supplied battery fine, and cheaper than halfords - available usually, too.

I spoke very nicely to my local stealer & got a new one for £37 which I believe is the trade price - they retail for some thing like £65

Just a search tip, but use the cog icon next to the search button, and type "battery" and click titles only, and select UK forum

Whaaaaaaat the heck? My stealer quoted me £98 fitted!

Please spill the beans on where your magical dealer is please, as mine's also on its last 'legs' (not sure they have legs but you know what I mean).
Cheers
