Re: Car battery prices
€124 is a bit on the pricey side for a battery these days,
last time I got battery (063 type) I paid around €50 from a motorfactor

Re: Car battery prices
I heard of a Lithium Ion car battery , £100 sterling, less than 1kg in weight, charges from flat in 10mins, unused will hold a 
charge for 6 months plus.
charge for 6 months plus. 
A fully carbon fiber Mini Marcos shell weighs just 7.25kg.

Re: Car battery prices
€124 is expensive. You should nearly be able to get 2 batterys at that price!!! As already said above €50 to €80 would be the price range for a battery like that.
As for Halfords, if anyone is in regular be sure to inquire into getting a trade card. Theres a big difference with them on trade price and retail price
