Battery for Hyundai i30

danrv

Hi
My 2011 i30 needs a new battery and the best choice seems to be from Tanya Batteries. Halfords have a calcium type for a bit more money but it’s also bigger.
There’s a lot of options for the i30 on Tayna from Yuasa, Bosch, Exide, Varta and more. All wet type so assuming lead/acid and maintenance free.
Just wondering if it matters much which one to go for? Prices from £54 - £70 + postage.
Any help appreciated.

The original Bosch battery in my car lasted 14 years. 
I replaced it with another Bosch.

My preference is Bosch, Varta, Yuasa in that order.
Never had any warranty claims with these 3. All lasted over 5 years.
For anyone that’s disabled look at Battery Megastore.
They will remove the vat.

They certainly should not do so.

I can only say that Halfords do a very nice, efficient, friendly and not such an expensive service whereby they pop to you and fit it.

I've had 3 great reports of the above and no negative comments, so I will definitely use them if required.

Thanks for the replies.
Have opted for a Bosch as advised by Tayna.
