Default New battery, bargain?

Got a new battery today for my 03 WRX.
Paid £45 fitted plus 2 year warranty. Bargain or too cheap?

The best place to get batteries is Supac in Merthyr Tdyfil, I bought a Varta Silver with a 3 year warranty for my Peugeot 206 HDI for £47.00.

Ok I buy them for trade prices but the same battery in Halfrauds is around £130.00.

I bought a replacement battery from a battery place near Powerstation which I cant remember the name of.
It was a heavy duty battery without the bulk or weight and I paid £40 cash if I remember correctly.

Glenn also had a battery from the same place to replace the next to useless small OE spec C one.

No problem Ellis just let me know what battery type it is, the type number is on the top of battery should say something like type 036 and do you want a premium make like varta silver and do you want a heavy duty version.

PM me your number and I'll ring you tomorrow.
