Given that my battery now only lasts a few days on a full charge, are there any other recommendations on what battery to get?

What range Bosch should I be looking for??
Where is a good online retailer?

S4/S5 any reputable seller on eBay will be a good bet

Andy, the S700 will not fit on my tray, its 240x185 or if I remove the little triangle bit 270x185.

Local suppliers are offering me Banner or a GS AGM027 (http://www.fpsdistribution.com/gs-titan-agm-batteries/) for £105+vat

or a platinum plus 027 at £100 +vat however I Platinum only make the platinum prestige plus range and this supplier has confirmed it does not say prestige on it so IMO its not by Platinum.

All with 4 year warranty.

The platinum I can collect today, the other tomorrow.

Decisions, decisions.

To make matter worse, I have just visited the motor factors nearest me ( IMO it's worth paying a few quid extra for the local support etc) and they are telling me a Yuasa 5027 is what I need, however looking online that's a std battery and no good for stop start.

Grrrrr!

The 9027 is a stop start and that's 130 delivered but its for high specification cars and I wonder if its too much for a punto as it needs a 4 amp charge and I dont know what the punto provides.

Mind you, I do want to be able to run additional electrical stuff, like dashcam, CB radios etc.

Most modern cars have 70amp+ chargers on them these days.

The 4 a charge is for full charging low slow rate to ensure capacity filling

Well, I just got an AGM027 from Performance batteries.

Car works OK now, lets see if it lasts for the 4 year warranty

Will do.

Everything works for now, I might even be able to refit the dashcam
