Question RST Battery, anyone replaced 1 recently?

Hi all I'm after a new battery for my RST I'd be interested to hear of any decent deals on them, where did you get yours?
I'd prefer a guarantee be it 3 or 5 years anyone any ideas on whats good and whats not?

Cheers

halfords ones are good as if you ever fuck it up you can take it back and they never argue and your replacement battery will start the 3/4/5 year gaurentee all over again!
