Battery recommendations

Hi all,

I'm looking for a new battery for my Edition 30.

Can anyone recommend a good one?

Thanks!

Bosch S4 or S5 is always a good bet

Great, thanks!

Varta E44 or S5 007 are highly recommended on here

I went for Varta E44. Seemed the highest powered/best value I could find.

Just bought one.... i think my battery is on its last legs... first start it usually poor.

Bought an S5 from Eurocarparts back when they had a sale.. think it should of been around £100 but got it at £50 delivered.
Don't think you can go wrong with many of the reputable brands really.

I fitted this Yuasa one: http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-wiper-blades-batteries/batteries/yuasa-12v-silver-car-battery-hsb096-5-yr-guarantee

Does the trick, although not the cheapest.

Thanks all - in the end I went for the Bosch S5 007. 

Fitted it so I'll see if it makes a difference.

Bosch was all ways the best,  I used TPS last time VW and right money

Except the varta e44 is better spec?

Just been comparing specs yes you are right, the problem we have in the motor trade people buy only on the price not the quality now a days then they come back in 18 months with a dead battery, and we have heard it all before !!
