MX5 ND 2016 new battery required
Discussion
OK so this morning the MX5 decided it needed a longer lie in and wouldn't start. Battery has been noticeably down recently, sluggish to start, and it's the original battery now 8 years old.
I have decided to treat it to a spanking new battery so...
For ease I will be picking up form my local Euro parts store in the morning and have 2 options (4 that fit but) out of these which is the best one:
Bosch - £90 - 4 year warranty
Varta - £101 - 4 year warranty
all other specs are identical for CCA etc.
It's been many years since I've had to buy a new car battery so of the 2 above which would you buy and why?

Thanks for the replies in line with my thinking.
I do have a couple of Optimate chargers for the bike but the MX5 lives out the front of the house so not practical to leave a trailing mains cable under the bonnet for battery maintenance.
As it's the original battery and 8 years old I reckon treating the car to new one is a good idea.
I'll get the Bosch one then
