TomsFocus Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Make sure it's Silver Calcium for the smart charge. The originals seem to be decent if anyone knows who makes them? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Bosch / Varta are good 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMX Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I've used Tayna for Varta batteries. Next day delivery, in most cases https://www.tayna.co.uk/Car-Batteries-C48.html 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MONDEO TXS 2.2 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 I wouldn't be suprised if either Bosch or Varta or both make & supply batteries to Fraud who then stick a Fraud sticker on them as OEM. Good quality batteries are easily available at sensible prices & many come with a 5 year guarantee 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
