Julian the battery is made in Germany, would this still be the "retail" Varta's you're referring to?
I used Trackwarrior too! My delivery was anything but straight forward but it wasn't the resellers fault - more the incompetence of the national distributor. Actually Trackwarrior gave me a discount for my trouble, which was appreciated.

I just secured the new battery in position, connected it up and haven't touched it since.
