Halfords, bloody hell they\'ll charge £70 for a battery. Average price for your battery should be £30-40

ive just had a quote for a new battery £94 to replace the one i have like for like, granted its much bigger than the origional but i thought the same as you £60 tops but aparently the price of lead has gone silly in the last year or so

I got one from Halfords today anyway! Yeah it was about 70 quid, but at least not 95 quid from another place! Went straight on aswell

That\'s the other point - it went straight on. Remember the MOT includes battery \'hold down\' security as part of the test.

I was missing the brace for my battery when it came over from Japan, I tied it down with a belt as a stop gap, forgot all about it for MOT time and it passed! The guy mentioned it when i collected it, not in a negative way but on my initiative! i was well smug lol :Thumbsup!

im also on the lookout for a new battery. not seeing much love for the red top25 or odyssey pc680. both a bit mor expencive but at about 6kg, sounds like a good mod. http://www.active-batteries.co.uk/enersys-odyssey-pc-680-p-195.html?main_page=product_info&products_id=195

Yeah I\'ve got the metal bar that holds it down, but it\'s not on at the moment as the catch that fastens it down has broke - opened the bonnet one day to find it wobbling around 1cm off one of the belts! I shall sort something before MOT!
