I paid £32.99 for a motorcycle AGM battery from Tayna to replace the Merc aux battery. Halfords had the same size for £68.99.

Yuasa were the OEM supplier for motorcycle batteries for years, I've got a feeling their car batteries are just rebranded from other manufacturers now.

Oh dear...

It's was £80. He said it was more difficult than he thought so if I, or anyone, needs another it'd be double.

Pretty good price I'd say. I paid £20 to get a hole in an ali sump welded up & it was a tiny hole.
