Hi all
I need to buy a new battery for my VFR - any recommendations from anyone on where the best deals are for a new battery ?
I will trawl the tinternet tonight but thought I would ask on here as well in case anyone knows somewhere local that do good deals
Thanks in advance for any pointers :-)
It always get mine from GM Stevens in Trowbridge - they've always been the same price or cheaper than Internet deals

YEP!!
Cheap as chips.
A new Exide for my SP-1 was £40 ish
Some were asking for more that twice that!
I got a gel battery from GM Stevens and I'm impressed. Well worth the bit extra £££.

All sorted now folks. Really wanted to give my business to the local guys (GM Stevens) but the battery shop was just soooooo much cheaper and as I was in Swindon anyway it was a no brainer.
Thanks for the tip Grey Haired Bloke and Hondafan

A good place to get battery's from is a garden machinery supplier, they use them for their mowers etc. Usually quite a bit cheaper.
we always use The Battery Shop.....as the advert says, if they haven't got it, can't get it or can't make it you don't need it..........:D
