That's more what I was thinking.  Good manufacturer and a sensible price. 

I've had a few batteries in the past and often laughed out loud when pricing them up from Halfrauds!

I too am a halfords hater, BUT 3 or 4 year guarantee they offer on the batteries is worth the extra IMHO - just make sure you dont lose the receipt  :smiley:
