well van achly,

is a Bosch battery for 126€ worth the extra 10/15 euros over a generic one? or are they made in the same factory anyway?

this is a biggish 80A 740ishAh job

If it's the same AH, then possibly not, but it's only a 10-15. I bought a duracel for my car this time, rather than generic, just a couple of quids dearer, but mid point on other batteries.

that's what i felt too, it's not much extra, but perhaps just for the word Bosch on the label

Quality will be a little better, maybe has a longer guarantee?

If its only 10-15euro more I would get the Bosch.

However I have normally got cheap batteries about 1/2 the price of a Bosch one when I wanted a cheap open.

Have you checked the warranty differences between them?

thanks matt. me and my chronic lack of googling. sometimes i just prefer to ask on her tho i admit : )

i'll see how much they are at the motor factors with my discount. that'll probably decide it
