So my car wouldn't start yesterday, RAC Ferrari assist came out and told me battery was 9.6v and had a dead cell. New battery was fitted by official Ferrari dealer 15 months ago so called to ask about a replacement. I was told Ferrari batteries only have a 12 month warranty AND only if the car has covered a minimum of 9,000km!! I've done 4,500 miles in the last year and I'd think I'm in the top 10% of owners!!

So I will not be buying a Ferrari branded battery again, does anyone have any suggestions for a good battery? Preferably with a 3-5 year warranty? Bosch, Banner?

What are you guys using?
