Battery???

[G187]

hello,

i want to change the battery on my 98 vtr, so far i've found a 44amp bosch battery for £36, is this the best battery for my car or is there anything else that is better? and if so how much and where from?

thanks

Bosch batterys are good, we order them in from suppliers for BIG vehicles , so must be pretty good!

bosch should be excellent, i think halfords use a different system for measuring amps i.e. the cold amp cranking thing which is why it sounds so much

Ampage hours is how we do it at halfords isnt it , on the batts, and cold crankage output..
