Get a Exide / Fullman Durastart. Cost about 10% more but give 30% more power.

Also, unlike other batteries the cells are indvidually wrapped inside so as the plates eventually break down - the cells dont cross contaminate and ruin the battery.

Most OE batteries are basic Exide anyway.

Yes I do sell them.. but not on here - so this is advice not an advert OK mods?
