I got a Bosch one from Costco. Also Halfrauds calcium ones are highly rated.

As above, I don't think you can go far wrong with batteries these days. When my original one finally gave up the ghost I needed one quick so I had no choice but to buy one from a local tyre supplier. Its been fine, even on the coldest mornings and it only cost £55. I put the savings towards my remap!

Halfords HCB005, much better than OE battery.

Costco no longer supply a Bosch to fit a newage Scoob, or at least they didn't last time I went to Lakeside about two months ago.
