    Hi,
    Just looking for a little advice please.
    The wife has a 2004 Toyota Yaris 1.3 Automatic and the battery has given up the will to live so I need a replacement asap.
    Micks have them on the list with the car type,
    Bosch and Exide
    The Exide is €66 and the Bosch is €72 but both are the same 44Ah
    Would one be better quality or have anything over the the other. I'm going to order tonight to get the 15% off so which should I get.

    Thanks..

    Go to halfords , buy their own brand battery , it comes with three year guarantee, if it gives up you just take it back to any halfords uk or ireland with the original receipt and they give you a new one. I've been using them for years with no problems.

    €69 for your car.

    Brought a 5 series E60 battery costing €140 back to Halfords after 1 year of use that gave up the ghost and there was no quibble in getting a new one.

    If I'm to be honest it was a faulty IBS sensor that caused the premature battery failure, but that was irrelevant as far as the replacement went.

    This...

    Acid battery is not something that can be properly handled by post.
