Can anyone recommend a good quality, long lasting battery. Price not an issue as you get what you pay for. Battery details would be appreciated.

Regards

Used to have a big ass Optima Blue top on mine.

Lasted 12 months. Rubbish.

Any 072 will do. The more Cold Cranking Amps and Higher the Amp/Hour rating the better.

Got one for £38 recently. Just as good as the Optima.

Halfords 072......might not last more than a couple of years, but as you get a 3-4 yr warrenty with them then you can't go wrong.

yesI'm with Jules, it's the no quibble guarantee. They've just changed my battery off my cerbera (14mths old) without even looking at the receipt. It's not kind to batteries wot we/i do (if your like me and don't use your PNJ everyday!).

Cheers everyone.

Halfords - £86.99 with 3 year guarantee.

Now just got to fit it without the flamin siren winding all the neighbours up - it just keeps singing sweetly no matter how I try to disconnect the old battery.
