New Battery for a Brera.....

[Kaelic]

So it appears the original Alfa battery in my brera had decided to die 2 months after the warranty expired

What is generally considered a decent battery for these things?

Have seen a Bosch one on halfords for about £130 with a 5 year warranty, are these a good punt etc or should I go for an original alfa one? (about £200)


Or anyone got a better alternative?

cheers

My 155 had a Halfords Bosch one - seemed fine to me, and according to the club's 155 guru they're quite hard on batteries.

Euro car parts will do the same Bosch S5 (110) battery for £105 and if you use discount code BATTERY15 you get another 15% off, either delivered of collect at a local ECP.

If you know anybody with a Halfords trade card, their price will be even less, it's often nearly half price on batteries. Advantage is that your warranty is then easily used anywhere in the country.

Not that I suggested abuse of the system, ooh no..

E30M3SE, you've just saved me exactly £45. Don't even know why I clicked the thread, but I was after a battery for my BMW today, and that's just saved me a packet right before xmas.

You are a legend sir.

If only some people knew how little you could buy a battery for trade, even Bosch ones.

If only some people who give the impression they might know how little you can buy a battery for trade started telling us how little you could buy a battery for trade, even Bosch ones.
