As I said my original one is a Moll, I had a Banner battery as OE on my previous MK5 TDI which I had from brand new - replaced it with another Banner (they are Austrian I think) when the time came.

I got rid of my Banner EFB and put in a Bosch AGM a year or two ago, just code it with OBD11 or VCDS.

Bosch have an excellent brand, and 'share' production with other battery companies including Varta and Exide.

They do make good wiper blades though :wink:
