    I am going to get a new battery tomorrow and would prefer Bosch due to the brand, I notice on the battery world website they don't stock them.
    Were would I get a Bosch one?

    From the IBD (independent battery distributors).
    Regarding Optima batteries; when buying an expensive battery, keep in mind that it could be seating on the shelf for very long time because they don't sell as often as others and may not even last. May Optima battery lasted less than 4 years.
    If you want battery that charges fast and handles discharging better than std batteries? Get an AGM battery (Bosch S6).
    Personally, I'd use the 100Ah battery instead, since it woul cost less than the AGM one.

    I ended up going with the Varta H3 for $409. I needed it this morning and it was from battery world. No more revs changing when my aircon is on something I have always noticed with the standard battery.
    I think the battery Vw put in these are way to small, is this another cost cutting?
    Thanks for the help guys.
