"This is a good quality battery, perfect and easy fit, Best price I could find this battery at, it was worth spending the extra few pounds compared to a cheaper battery that probably wont have the same lifespan anyway"

"Bought for my V6 28T Turbo Signum - the Bosch battery being slightly higher rated than the original. Reserved online, collected on easter Sunday (whilst everywhere else was shut - thanks Halfords fopr being open!) - fitted in a few minutes as it slotted straight in without any problems like you get on some batteries with terminal mismatch and not fitting into the battery compartment or working with the battery clamp - so very satiosfied all round."

Pros: size and power, 5 year warranty
Cons: a little bit more pricey
"Replaced both batteries in my VW t25 these work a treat as a powerful starter and as a leisure battery. Big and powerful but fits under the seat compartment unlike others!! My van is mainly used at the weekends or used off grid camping. The starter has no problem spinning the engine over to start quickly after being left for a month or two. Last camping trip powered the heater fan for 36hrs (-5 outside)and lighting for the whole week. Still had charge left at the end. Would recommend for anybody with a Vw T25 who need a battery that is powerful yet still fits under the seat, thanks Bosch for this product even if I paid a bit more than halfords own which only has 3 year warranty where as Bosch has 5 year warranty."

"I bought this battery as a replacement for my dying battery in my Vauxhall Vectra. I decided to go for this model as it was a lot more powerful than a 'standard' Halfords model plus it had a 5yr guarantee !
The battery was fitted by my local store by a very knowledgeable and friendly member of staff.
I could not fault the service I received. First class ;-)

Pros: sealed unit, 5 year guarantee
"Got this battery for my Porsche. It was cheaper that the equivalent poorer quality Porsche lead acid battery where you have to add the acid yourself. Also the lead acid Porsche batteries require regular checking and topping up. The silver battery is sealed and guaranteed for 5 years - it is unlikely that a lead acid will last that long. So a better product at a lower price."

Pros: good handle, great power
Cons: price
"Bought a branded battery (Bosch) as opposed to an own label for the extra bit of power it suggests it has. Started my Diesel VW Camper after standing idle for 18 months and a top end rebuild - no problem!
Easier to carry than the previous one too.
Only reason that it has reduced stars on Value is that, in my opinion, nothing in this world seems particularly good value any more. Glad I bought it though."

"Needed a replacement for OE battery. This Halfords one has higher amp hours and better cranking power than the original and better than any of the competitors for the same money. Five year warranty is a good sign of Halfords faith in the product which gives me peace of mind."

"With the cold weather and my car struggling to turn over in the mornings, I decided to bite the bullet and replace the '10 year old' battery in my Ford C-Max. This was the only recommended battery at Halfords, so purchased and chose their fitting service. Glad I did! The battery is huge and the young lad had fun fitting it. However, car now starts first time. I can drive to work with heater, heated screen, lights and whatever else I choose to switch on with out worrying.
Battery comes with a 5 year guarantee. Will probably outlast the car."

Pros: easy to fit, strong charge from the outset
Cons: no built-in handles awkward to lift
"I used the Halfords mobile website when my old battery completely died on Boxing Day. The site told me which battery I needed based on my car registration; I reserved online; and picked up the battery around 3 hours later. The staff were happy and friendly, and replacing the battery was a simple task for me to do at home. The charge was strong right from the outset, and I have had no problems since changing the battery over. This comes with a 5 year warranty, so Halfords will replace the unit free of charge if it dies in that period. Very pleased with the order process, service, and product."
