insomniak 0 Posted September 7, 2004 My battery is on its last legs and I need to get a replacment. I want to get a bosch silver but there are no stockists that I can find on the IOM - or that would be able to deliver without high delivery prices The best local stockists can offer is either a Lucas or Exide. prices are about £45 any other recomendation to the bosch????? and what rating etc should I be looking for? Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
G60Jet 1 Posted September 7, 2004 just get a normal battery unless your running a stereo and amp or wise a normal one will do. the bosch silvers are ment to be good but if u cant get one then go for a normal one Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted September 7, 2004 AC Delco batteries are very good and sold by Vauxhall dealers. There must be a Vauxhall dealer in IOM? Just peel the vauxhall sticker off and you're left with a plain, sealed black battery with a health indicator light. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not heard of "Go" before.... dunno what they're like. They might be a model of Delco battery? Hope so as AC D's won "ICE Battery of the year award" for a few years running, until Optima came on the scene. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
