Not too bad price in Halford's at £62.I read that the BS means bottle supplied so I put the electrolyte in myself but halfords state "Battery comes pre-filled & ready to fit
100% maintenance free" so do they put it in at halfords or is it shipped from the factory already filled so it is not actually a BS battery ?
Surprised you never asked peoples thoughts before buying?
They do a Motobatt which i had 2 batteries ago, £64 on Ebay including free next day delivery which is good as other sites on there are charging nearly £95 for the same one.
Just checked and the last one i bought was a Varta.
I normally look for one that has a higher amp hour capacity especially for cold cranking due to me riding throughout as much of winter as i can.
One thing not mentioned, unless the ad's blatantly have the name and model of your bike on them online just make sure that all the measurements are spot on.
