Anyone Need a New Battery at the Minute?
I had to replace my battery recently, I had begun to lose confidence in it and with the winter approaching I thought best to bite the bullet. (the alternator checked out ok, and the un recognised brand of battery was at least 7 years old.
After checking out what had been recommended on the forum over the years I settled on a Varta E44 (the Bosch S005 or whatever number it was, was deemed to be identical but £10-15 more expensive). It is only in one day, and the car is noticeably more eager to start. But a review is not the reason of this post lol. Since I was searching through eBay and Amazon as well as local places, I received a 'you might be interested in' type email, and on it was a price reduction of the E44 battery from Tayna (whom I actually purchased directly from). Via eBay they dont deliver to NI, so I do not know if there is a postage charge. But the battery is down to £72, which is around £20 less than I paid and seems to be a great price and figured someone may be interested. LINK |
They may be worth a shot, the make and type of battery I use is £15 cheaper than Halfords.

I've had a Pavilion car battery on my ZT for the past 5 years, the ZT only gets driven once in awhile, can sit for weeks without even being started, and then she only goes on short journeys.
The battery has never gone flat, and has never been charged, the car starts immediately even through the winter months, its been the best battery I have ever owned. I think the batteries are only available from their website. |
Hi Alan.
Yes I have used tayna.co.uk for all my batteries over the last 10yr I like Varta they are as good if not the exact same as the Bosch battery. ;) https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/ https://www.tayna.co.uk/car-batteries/types/096/ |

I just took a look at the site you linked to and on there the Varta battery E44 is £46 more than tayna :eek: https://www.pavilionbatteries.co.uk/cart |
In August I bought a Bosch S4 096. Th same one lasted me 7 years 8 months. I thought it was good so bought another one. Not unusual for 75 batts to last that long apparently.

:cool: I like Varta Batteries in general - "Varta Industrial" range for AA/AAA/C etc.. I buy from batterystation.co.uk ;)
I was hoping to buy a Varta battery for the Car when it came time - I ended up with a Bosch (S4 i think) as Eurocarparts had a half price sale on batteries at the time :cool: Paul. |

The numbers of the new battery are higher, and with those, and the brand (supposedly high quality - although I am not a brand snob, if I was, I would have got the Bosch lol), I went the Bosch/Varta route, for the peace of mind. Quote:
