Battery YUASA or ODYSSEY
Personally I'd always go with Bosch but recently had to get a new battery for my wife's car. I got a Yuasa battery and so far do good.
Halfords stock Yuasa which I've never had a problem with
I’ve had a group 34 Odyssey in my ‘04 TJ for 4.5 years, no problems at all.
I have the true start now. Previous one is yuasa from 2004 that lasts a good 17 years.
I’ve always used Yuasa and always get at least 7 year’s life
Being designed for industry they have a reputation for much longer life (up to 10 years) and better performance at cold temperatures.
Odyssey batteries have served me well. AGM. My Benz has the battery under the passenger seat so I it’s irritating to change. My last Odyssey lasted 9 years and didn’t fail: I just decided to change it as a matter of maintenance.
I had an oem yuasa last like 15 years...replaced it with another yuasa thats over 4 years old now...no issues so
I'm using a Yuasa with a 4 year warranty. The optima yellow is good but not worth 3 and half times the price for twice the life span of a normal battery unless you plan on deep discharging it a few times. I just think they're a little over priced for what you get.
Put a Yuasa in my Street triple and it lasted 1.5 years almost exactly. Would keep it on the tender in cold months every so often, never killed it or discharged it, and still died which was disappointing for the price and the “OEM” brand.
