I needed a new 096 car battery so I call into all the local motor factors & a battery supplier. They were all around the same price £45-£50 +vat and they had several makes - Nissan, Global, Oldham & Yuasa. Battery supplier was pushing the Nissan branded ones but I decided to go for the Yuasa as they have a good reputation.
Called in today to buy one & he plonked a Magneti Marelli one on the counter. Apparently their supplier is sending these instead of the Yuasa ones. I declined as I don't know what their quality will be like.
There's a couple of auto electrical places that I can try but they can be expensive. There's also halfords which is very expensive for batteries. Due to the weight I'm stuck to shopping locally.
Has anyone any experience of the brands I've listed or can you recommend a good brand?
