Ebay or import car parts price wise , they are either 3 or 4 year warranty whatever you buy , i don’t tend to go branded as you pay over the odds and still have the same warranty

I got my Duracell one for £65 from euro carparts few months ago

Nah.... The few quid saved versus the day it lets you down when you need it most... no thanks... Understand what you mean with warrantee though, but in the real world it will fail when you really need it most.

Dito, this is what I have on my 03 JDM STI. Best battery IMO, plus 5 year warranty.

Yuasa 5000

I thought my battery was goosed, rarely use my car now and the battery wouldn't hold charge for more than a couple of days before it was struggling to start. I thought i'd try a c-tek battery charger / conditioner from Amazon and after it had been on charge for roughly 12 hours it was showing it was conditioned and fully charged. It now starts on the button and i've left it for a couple of weeks and it still starts first time, maybe something to consider.:thumb:

Binny don't suppose you have a link to the exact battery as you have the same car , do the jdm have smaller terminals

My 04 JDM Twinscroll Legacy as standard terminals. The Bosch battery as a 5 year warranty as well.

Hey Sean.

Sorry mate, only just seen this. The battery is a YBX5005 ^ (the clamp is over the Y on the model number but it’s defo that model).

Hope this helps.
Binny
