Re: battery from Halfords?
You want to PM Batteryman on here for a proper battery at the right price.

Re: battery from Halfords?
oh and if you are very impatient (like me), as they tend to deliver if not the next day then the day after, then you could sweet talk a Honda dealer into matching the price. Hence why I know it's 41 quid and a Honda dealer in Manc said their's was 79.99 then promptly price matched the 41 quid and knocked six quid off a datatool charger as well.

Re: battery from Halfords?
I think the Yuasa battery ending in BS carries a bit extra whoompf for countries like ours that are colder than normal .

Re: battery from Halfords?
Batteryman is very good value and a site member - therefore buying a new battery from him is clearly the right, decent and honourable thing to do.
However, should you feel the need to purchase your new item from Halfords, the quality of Bosch batteries is at least as good as Yuasa, and also similar to that of Varta, any of these excellent quality brands can happily be used.
