I know these are meant to be really good etc. but when looking online at the different ones available for my car I can apparently get an S3 (70 amp), S4 (72 amp) or S5 (75 amp).

There is a 71 amp shit no-name battery currently in the car, would it be best going for the Bosch S4 battery (£86.34) or save £14.40 and get the 70 amp S3 (£71.94)?

This is from EuroCarParts BTW.

As an aside question, they also list Exide batteries... Are they any good or should I just go for a Bosch?

Battery is a battery in my eyes, They only normally go wrong when you let them go uber flat and dont recharge. Or after 10+ years depending on their use etc.

Are all the above batteries the same size? I'd just go for the cheapest.

Cougar was only ever designed to be cruiser not a racer. Bit of a pointless reply TBH Chris F.
