Varta or Bosch
Hi looking for a new battery and the only difference with the 096 ones above is that the Bosch is £5 dearer. Both are the same specs and warranty. So please chip in with your thoughts ?
Thanks

Bosch for me. No scientific evidence, but it’s what I would pick up given the choice...

are they not the same with different labels?
The Bosch and Varta batteries when I was looking at them last year were identical, both physically and specs. I plumped for the Varta E44 as it was £5 or 6 cheaper.
