Just been to Halfords for a new battery for Superb MK2 wanted £240 any better deals I'm in Milton Keynes.

 

I recently purchased a new car battery (Varta) from a big ebay seller. However, it wasn't shipped from them but from Tayna...which just goes to show how big Tayna is. It might be the biggest supplier of car batteries in the UK. The packaging was excellent as it was purpose made to ship car batteries, and because Tayna sell so many car batteries they are likely to supply a recently manufactured car battery rather than one that has been sitting around for months. Their prices are competitive too.

Here's a chart on common sizes of Varta car batteries. Most Skodas have either size 2, size 3, or size 4. They all have the same width of 175mm, and the same height of 190mm...so it's just the length that varies...which makes it easy to identify the size required. SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries are for cars that don't have stop-start. AGM batteries are for cars that have stop-start.

Try German Sweedish and French. I very recently bought one from my local branch (Huddersfield) for considerably less than Halfords. Saved iro £90.

I had a new Battery fitted to my 2019 Karoq yesterday by Advanced Battery Supplies in Bredbury,Stockport. Bought the Stop/Start that they recommended, a Powerplus Stop Start Battery/5 years warranty/Higher cranking Amps. £119.95 fitted. No problems with coding. All done in 20 minutes. Ready for Winter.

Was that battery EFB, EFB+ or AGM? Pretty good price anyway - great price if AGM.
