Tim Bancroft Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Need a new battery for the GT6:Any thoughts anyone?I have used Halford batteries for the last 10 years, but they seem a bit pricey?Any recommendations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJB_Harvey Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Yes i used to use halfords but agree they do seem to be pricey nowadays....However ive had excellent service from my last 2 choices..one is a Varta on the PI , the other on the MK1 is a Bosch...both are now over 5 years old with no problems...maybe ive been lucky but i would certainly track down one of those brands next time.

Clive Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 Halfords have been as good as anybody for me. However I may get a Vauxhall OEM (delco?? but OE stuff tends to be pretty good) one next time, as I have a vauxhall trade club card!(and a halfords one, you must know somebody local with one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted October 19, 2009 Share Posted October 19, 2009 After experiencing a Bosch I wouldn't use anything else - and I tend to abuse the batteries (not use them for ages) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
