Default 50% Discount off Batteries for 2 hours - 7pm to 9pm

No good to me as I have recently bought one.

Includes some decent makes, such as Bosch.

Code is FLASH50

Thank you for highlighting.

But, be wary, the prices still come out higher than the likes of Tanya.

Looks like a gimmicky offer.

I hope you have a good time with Tanya.
But the thread was about car batteries.

Just dont buy the Lion brand battery, they don't last very long. The guys at ECP will even tell you the same, then offer you a Bosch battery for the same price.

Exude AAGM battery starting price £300 before discount Fake sale again those can be picked up for circa £130, all they do is double the price and then issue a discount code.
Not only that but the lion batteries are more like pussy batteries, lost count of how many 75 and ZT’s I’ve come across with these pussy batteries fitted that don’t last five minutes or leak all over the top of the ABS module and destroy it.

That's a technical term I've not heard before!

096 battery for my Streetwise £114. Really?
After the “sale” discount it’s £57.50 but my local supplier has them for £52 all day long. It’s rare to find ECP or CP4LESS being competitive these days. They are the DFS of car parts, always having a sale.
It’s not for everyone but if you are close enough to Tewkesbury, The Battery Megastore is very competitive and they even had a battery on the shelf to fit my Scimitar GTE. Cash over the counter is best for price.

Most offers are these days. Saw an AVIVA insurance advert the other day
"10% of drivers paid less than £163 per year" Makes you wonder what the other 90% are fleeced for
