TPS always have good deals on the Varta batteries, they also sell Quantum and Skoda Economy range, I opted for the Varta which was around £45 inc VAT

I managed to get one ordered last night. Used click & collect. Paid my £58 this am and picked up at 9. They even gave me a call to say it was ready. Happy days. Thanks for putting the post up

Whats the issue with the oem battery then guys? My car is nearing 7 years old and still going strong on the original, as is my wifes 2008 Gt tdi 140 should I be concerned? Surely just fit a replacement if starts to struggle or doesn't start one morning! Never heard of intervals for replacing a good Battery, my previous Focus Rs was 11 years old on original Battery also
Thanks in advance

There's not really an issue as such if your battery is ok that's fine.

A lot of people suffer from bad start ups from cold and some say the uprated battery improves this.

And preventative maintenance is never a bad thing as winter approaches

Ahh ok thanks for reply
Well seems as I have two Mk5's il take my chances and save the dollar, worse case scenario is call the AA, might aswell use the buggers as paid for it

Well mine has been playing up for a while had been meaning to sort out so this was quite timely. I haven't just replaced as a precaution.

Just ordered one of those TAYNA batteries and found a code that works on a random website.

It's only 5% off but better than nothing ey.

Code is D2BOYS.

like anything batteries have a life and reduce their capacity for holding charge and sharp loads (eg starting) over time.
especially winter
had to replace my scirocco battery as it was very very lazy starting first thing in the morning after i drained the battery with the heated seats accidentally.
got an s5 007 on that one too.

Bit of an old thread but does anyone have a recommendation on where to find a current good deal on a new battery?
That Bosch is £103 now and the ukmk425 code has expired. Having just bought a house last week, I could do with the saving but don' want to scrimp on quality.

Cheers

The Varta one is about £68 delivered on ebay

The Bosch S5 is £88 on Amazon supplied by ECP

I have this fitted and bought from Amazon. There are cheaper options as other posts say.

Thanks guys, I just realised that the 5% code still works at Tayna so the Varta E44 is £64.95 delivered.
Seems like this may be the best deal for me at the moment, unless there are any better discount codes knocking about.

Great battery
