bosch and super charge are good for the price. Stay away from century though as they are junk.

I probably agree with the century comment. Lucky to last 2 years based on the last three I have bought and one of them leaked acid down my wheel well due to a poor fitting too section of the case.

Cheers all
Just ended up getting rac battery as I didn't trust super cheap as a friend had a lot of hassle from a brand new battery within 24hrs of purchase. Spewing as I only use it once- twice a week.

If you only use the car 1-2 times a week.. Perhaps worth getting your hand on a battery charger kit. I rarely drive mine these days & the 10 minute trip to work when I do, isn't enough of a charge time. So have also invested in one.
