Battery flat, quick help please

Bit of a thread revival here! Tom can you tell me if the battery you bought at Costco for that price, was the Bosch Silver  S5 008?
I can get one from Halfords reduced from £119.99 to £76.75 with the trade card, but that Costco price is unbelievable!!
Just for info TPS wanted £81.88 + VAT for a genuine one, retail was £100 + VAT!!

Just a quick FYI...

I put off changing the battery until today as my old Varta battery hung on in there for quite a while but finally gave up last week, it'll no longer hold charge for longer than 48 hours so it had to go. Popped down to Costco and that Bosch S5 battery is now £59.99 +VAT (£70.48 in total) which is quite a big difference.

Still cheap though and I can't really complain with their no quibble warranty and the fact that they disposed of my old battery for me.

Take the battery to the scrappy its worth between £5-10 dependant on the price that day, if they say no value in it then they are related to dick turpin
