No question, the best on the market is the 95ah Bosch S4.

It even makes my headlights brighter.

Re: New battery needed
Thanks for the link MM, just ordered one, and very reasonably priced for a named battery!. The battery on the bongo that has failed is marked up all in Japanese, so I am guessing that it is the original battery, and has come to the end of its life. Did have a few warning signs with the glow plug light coming back on for a few seconds after starting (first start of the day), and as I am not using the bongo during the week, I guess its just given up!mister munkey wrote:No question, the best on the market is the 95ah Bosch S4.

Re: New battery needed
I take it from another post that the S4 Bosch was a success Paul?

Re: New battery needed
I also need a new battery due to the cold weather. Have tried googling the Bosch battery mentioned above and am getting a bit confused. Can't see the one in the ebay link anywhere (S4008 95ah)
Could someone point me in the right direction?
