    At the garage, most of ours cars are on Varta batteries, my S2 has a Varta as well. They are pretty good overall, I think some other members use them as well.

      I always buy Bosch batteries, they're are more expensive but the S5 ones have a 5year warranty. You want an S5007 for a 3B.

              OE Bosch lasted 8 years, current Bosch sliver 7 years old and going strong.

                Bosch silver for me too was a bit pricey but worth it . You get what you pay for with battery's
                never set your expectations to high that way you are never disapointed

                  And Dennis would know about his batteries I agree, Bosch silver if you can afford it. Valta are good and ive had a Hoppecke battery which has done well although i now need a new battery

                    Bosch silver for me too, they have a very long service life. Highly recommended.

                      Even I don't own an S2, on my daily driver A4 B6 1.9 TDI I use a Varta Sylver Dinamic 72 or 74 Ah. Before that I had the original battery of the car that was ok for 11 years.
                      I heard that Bosch and Varta are almost the same company and the packaging is different .

                            Bosch With 5 Year Warranty so it's probably a B5 or S5.... If you have an ECP near you they have a 30% discount at the mo...
