Question

The one in the Scoob has let me down twice in the past couple of weeks. Mainly due to its lack of use and the cold weather. I think it's the original battery so it's done a good job as it's survived 5 years.

Therefore, can anyone suggest a good battery, I'm thinking about going down the Bosch route unless anyone can come up with a better idea.


Cheers,

Ed

I replaced mine with a Varta battery. I used to hang around with a lad whos dads company made these things.

As far as i know they are damn good quality batteries. I think mine was about £50 and came with a 3 year warranty.
