Don't just look at the warranty period offered. You can often get better performance from a battery that has a 2-year warranty than some that come with 4 years.
If you look at the specs and choose based on the highest CCA and Ah rather than judging by the price you should get a good battery.

Think it’s time I stop messing around and just buy a proper one. Both Varta and Bosch are solid brands, definitely a big step up from the no-name stuff.

- @daniel_sheffield09.06.2025 12:18MemberI use varta in my car now, before was bosch. Both are good, no problem. I think not big difference, maybe just brand. Important is made in Germany, not cheap one. Car starts every time, so I’m happy.
I remember back in the day Varta batteries were always the better choice. Has this changed in recent years?
I bought a cheap battery around a year ago to replace the original one and after letting it run flat (oops!) it won’t hold a charge anymore. It’s touch and goes whether it’ll turn over at all. So this time I’m willing to spend a bit more on good quality. So Varta vs Bosch, what’s the consensus?
