Hi folks,

have struggled with a dying battery for a while. Charged it during the week and a day later it was so flat the dash didn't even light up.

So on the hunt for a new battery. Any recommendations?

Cheers,
Olie

I got mine from Kieran at Halfrauds in Lanark. I've got a discount card if you want to give me a call. I think it was around £95? I did get the Bosch one though, you can get the store brand cheaper. :D

Cheers dude, got my mate at Parks on the case for the minute but wondered if there were any online specials or the likes.

Postage would be a bit of a killer mind you :alien:

Have to say I use Halfords for my S4 battery without any problems and as they are usually covered by a three year warranty represents good value.

Mate has told me 43bucks so far but will get final price on Monday.

Not sure if that's a Bosch or not, will let you all know.
