I was a Varta fan, and/or Bosch which were made at the same factory. At various points in time Bosch owned the Varta battery business, and Varta has owned the Bosch battery business. I believe now both Bosch and Varta batteries are made by a 3rd party in France.
Both of the Varta batteries I've bought recently (7 years) (one in the disco, and one in a VW Passat) have failed.
I know the Disco is heavy on batteries, but I wouldn't have expected a failure like this.Richard

If anyone still wants one of these batteries then I have one going spare as I ordered 2 when they were advertised on Amazon for £67.
Still in box. Can’t post due to hazardous nature of contents. I’m located near Rait between Perth and Dundee. £50 seems fair. Just dibs and drop me a pm. Thanks
