I paid about £60 for a replacement UK turbo battery from a specialist battery dealer in Cheltenham.
However instead of the usual 48 amp/hrs it was uprated ( 60 ?) and had a lifetime warrantee. I think the make was Varta ?
Always worth going to a specialist. Dont buy Halfords crap. This guy fitted it too, in the rain, in the dark, in the winter. Old school I guess.
Shouldnt reset the ECU if done within a few minutes as far as I believe, I didny notice any difference anyway.
