halfords and take it back every year wether its fucked or not, there all date stamped and its the cheepest battery you will ever buy

my cossie had 3 batteries as the alarm killed them when it was off the road,, that battery was also in the cabrio before that,,, before that my tennis cabrio,,, before than my 1300 escort,,,,, and before that was in my orion


I BOUGHT THE ORION BACK IN 99 WITH THAT BATTERY ALREADY FITTED

so it lasted 7 years,,, and i got a new battery 4 days before it was nicked too
