Golf 2.0 petrol. What brand of battery to buy ?

[lobe]

Gday,

Original varta battery is on its way out in the gf's golf. Done the usual tests with my multimeter etc.

Here in adelaide i can get one from the vw dealer for $255, a bosch silver S3 plus for about $166 or a supercharge Gold mf55 for $136. Then batt world, ibd etc all want 170+ for the usual, century, exide etc

The car does a few shorts trips all week.
Any recommendations?

I used to use bosch silvers when lived in uk and had no probs
Am thinking the supercharge one, made for the temps here in oz.

Mate just got 5 yrs out of supercharge on a 4wd diesel.

Any ideas, experience with batteries here in oz for euro cars?

Thanks

Its never crossed my mind to consider comparing batteries. I just buy whatever supercheap is selling around the $150 mark and im done.

I worked at supercheap and we definitely had less supercharge come back for warranty then century (which is weird because century cost more) so I would go supercharge!

I just got a yellow top for my 2.slow
I need it to run compressors and eventually a sound system again however.
Seems great so far.

Varta, that is all.
