Yesterday I went to Halfords and saw this same type battery for my Focus with price £84.99. So I didn't buy it. Today I went to Eurocarparts in Coventry and I couldn't believe in price £36 including Vat.

You can't make sweeping statements like that without backing them up with facts. Personally I think Halfords has its place in a world where time is money and it might be difficult to get to a bargain basement parts shop, especially since few operate the opening hours Halfords manages.

It's a F#####G Car battery, it has 3 years warranty and it's a good price, please don't compare it to car tyres as a Battery is not going to kill you if youtake a corner too fast....
It's less half the price of the a Yuasa or a Good Bosch and comes with 3 years Warranty so in theory you can buy a new one in 3 years and still be up on the deal in 6 years time, if the battery lets you down just call Euro Car Parts and they will swap it out, simple :smiley:
A bigger battery will not help with uprated car stereo's or anything else electrical, the battery in your car is there to serve one purpose: provide enough cranking amperage to start the engine. After your engine is running, and the alternator is spinning, the battery actually acts as a load.. If the battery mentioned has enough Amps to start your car then buy it :smiley:

Keep the receipt and make good use of their warranty......you will most likely need it.

Sorry i should have said mine was for an Astra 2.0 turbo diesel.
Who the hell are Lion Battery's? I always say if people skimp on things like battery's and tyres which are important parts on any car, what other things have they skimped on. Eg. Repairs and general maintenance.
