Title: Crappy Bosch batteries.......??
Post by: Mk1cabby on 31 October 2006, 16:27: Bosch batteries are at least 40% more expensive than other brands and yet I have had two die on me within the two year warantee period...!

I only paid more because I thought they would be better...! :angry:

Has anyone else had bad experiences with Bosch car batteries or it is just a one off?

Thanking you in advance,

Jason.

I've no experience of Bosch batteries so I can't comment but you'd think they would be good though.
