Excellent batteries 5 years warranty is a giver.
Are you sure you need 110ah 900amps?
These are standard specs in bmw e60 m5 for example
You can go with the 100ah model/ 850 amp, costs 139 euros last time I checked and with axa card or professional card it costs 119 euros.
189 euros is along the same price as bosch, varta.
Yep I'm sure.
It's for a B7 RS4

Cool ok
If you have Axa insurance or a trade card you will get a good discount.0 -

Any friendly folk around Cork have a lend of a trade card?
Trade cards are made within minutes over the counter...just saying...like
You don't need to bring your CRO registration/VAT certificate etc...
In fact they only ask for name and address and sign the form
Well, that was the case when I got mine0 -

Give me a GS/Oldham/Koba/Exide/Hoppike over a Yuassa any day.
We had them for a while, the 3 year one did only did 2 in the bravo, was replaced by a varta in late 2010 and is still in it to this day.
Had to replace a Koba in the tractor that lasted 7 years, the yuasa that replaced it did just 3. Now is replaced by a GS hercules, in it a year and am anxious to know if it will last
Having said that, theres an elite version in the van since 2010 and does plenty of hard work (beacons, jump starting, work lighs etc)
I wouldn't bother with them anymore myself
Gs is Yuassa though
Both very good brands of batteries IMO.
So you had a few bad experiences with them, batteries do go faulty and if left idle they also go bad.
I had one in my car for 12 years, the winter of 09/10 finally killed it off. It was replaced with a Bosch which went faulty after 14 months. Does that mean Bosch are a bad battery, no just that these things sometimes happen. It was replaced with another Bosch and no trouble since.0 -

Sure varta/bosch are made in the same factory too.... I've had plenty of bad batteries, not limited to yuasa, just more of them were yuasa batteries than the others.
It's still a no from me. Having bought 12 of them in a period of 3 - 4 years only 3 really performed well and are still in service to this day. Another 3 year battery I got for an 899 sei lasted just over 2 years, I wasn't impressed to say the least, 2 had to go into my old car over 3 years as further examples.
Reason we kept buying them: they were cheap. Looking back was it either?
Of course batteries go faulty, I got some cheap disaster that lasted 3 days that I got replaced with a Varta black, which also had a very short lifespan too.
For my work here I use a 95ah exide or a 59ah yuasa and swap it amongst the different vehicles, no problems atall. The gs titan in my 406 was sawpped between 3 different cars and is over 2 years old, seems to be holding up well (it gets worked hard at times)
That's my story with them and that can't be changed. Not good for most regardless
Take it or leave it
