My current Varta Black is date stamped 09/13 and isn't enjoying the cold weather, so I'm looking at options for a good quality replacement 325 battery.
Wiki says go for an 096 rated battery. Any recommendations?

096 bosch s5 or s4.

Look for higher cca (cold cranking amps).

Eurocarparts occasionally do 50% discount on their ebay account has deals sometimes.

If not discounted use carparts4less.co.uk

Thanks. ECP have an S5 for £101 with the discount, however I've found an S5 in the link below for £80. Looks like same power output etc but slightly shorter in length?
