<span itemprop="name">Worse than they used to be, same price.</span>
<span itemprop="description">Very much regretting buying this battery as Halfords seem to have taken a massive backwards step.
My old Triumphs battery failed, but it was a few years old and had had a hard winter. Its existing Halfords battery had previously proved to be pretty solid and I needed a replacement quickly, so opted to get a direct replacement HB072 as a branch was near-by. Sure-enough the car started just fine, but on closer inspection, I began to feel short changed.
Despite the rapid advance in battery technology in the last decade, the new unit proved vastly less powerful than the previous generation. Cold cranking amps had dropped from 590 to 550 and the reserve capacity had nearly halved from 130Ah to 68Ah! The new casing felt flimsier, the carry handles are useless and to add insult to injury, the nearly identical (barring the polarity) HB030 was almost £20 cheaper.
If I was keeping the car, I would've taken it right back and shopped around some more. Halfords batteries aren't the cheapest, but they've generally had a decent reputation. To see cost cutting like this feels like a very quick way to throw a good reputation in the bin.</span>

<span itemprop="name">Right case size wrong terminal post polarity</span>
<span itemprop="description">Used the Halfords in store battery checker which gave this battery as the correct item.
Took home to car to find that although the battery case size was correct, I needed the battery terminal posts to be positive left. Couldn’t extend terminal connectors to reach the battery terminals with the battery fitted the other way round. Back to the store for a refund</span>

<span itemprop="name">Dead battery</span>
<span itemprop="description">I bought this online by putting my van registration in, collected in Wakefield store, fitted to van but wouldn’t start. Called a local garage out who said Halfords batterie was dead. When I returned it the manager said they wouldn’t have sold me a dead battery - very strange</span>
