Got a 70Ah GM labelled one in mine, my local dealer doesn't seem to stock the GO labelled ones any more.

Also check the dimensions of the 85Ah ones, got a feeling they are slightly bigger and the jacket will no longer fit, certainly was a stretch on the GM one I bought.

Forgot to mention you can get a really good price on Bosch Silver batteries from Costco if you have membership or know someone who has. They don't stock the complete range but prices are better than tradeclub for OE and they are good batteries

Anyone needing Costco around my area, I'll willingly take in as a guest.

I think a lot of the Halfords ones are lucky to last the warranty - they are relying on the fact on you losing the receipt.

You are lucky they swapped it for you :y
