Hi, I need a new battery and wondered if it's worth paying extra for a branded one.

The local motor factors can do me one for £30 inc vat which comes with a 2 year Guarantee, not sure of brand. Or is it worth paying a bit extra and getting this:

Bosch silver 063 Battery (http://boschcarbatteries.co.uk/index.php/bosch-silver-063-battery-s5001.html)

I would definitely get a Varta or Bosch especially if your running bigger power.

My battery takes a caining dont think the Alternator is that great

Na it's not running big power, it's not running any power (http://www.rtoc.org/boards/showthread.php?t=26650)! haha

For a totally standard 5 do you think the Bosch is a bit much?
