Unipart do a lifetime guarantee for as long as you own the car.

Their lifetime batteries are usually their 3/4 year batteries, so that's how long they usually last. Worth it if you intend to keep your car for longer than that.

Bosch Silver Asia 6DA from Costco if you can get in there for about forty notes with at least 3 year warranty.
