I got one for my car in from Aaron Ros Tire Centre about a year ago. Never had any probs with it and it came with 2 year waranty! Not sure on the brand tho.

exide is what i have in mine man very good battery or as robbie said varta also very good, the real life of a battery is hard to tell it depends on how its used if it ever ran flat it ruins the life of them but they should last 2-3 years
the battery I have in the car is the same one that came in it from new.. The better half went in to shop for 5 mins last night left radio on , came out car wouldn't start so won't be getting caught again
The excide going on micksgarage is €138 plus delievery.. bosch one is €95 including delievery
Got one in motor factors (think its a Varta) and was around €80 if not cheaper. Only driven once or twice a week. Short spins and haven't had a problem. Holding voltage whether driving or sitting a few days.
I just bought a Bosch few weeks back, think 80 quid coverd it, Varta and Exide were more expensive.. You wont go wrong with any of the top brands tbh as most carry the same warranty and standards are very high
