arah 0 Report post Posted November 4, 2012 Hi all my e46 2004 battery just died, it was using a "super charge" cca 600 smf65L. Is there any tips/advice on the current market of batteries readily out there? Will resort to jeff grey's OEM batts , (exide??). In CHCH so not much choice regarding options. Can anyone chip in please? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Some BMW dealerships carry Bosch, can't go wrong with that either. But I have recently discovered Koba, which is stocked by Partmaster and is very well-priced especially if you can get it at trade pricing. Was recommended by some folks in the trade. Seems to be well made and comes with a 3 year warranty, which would suggest a certain level of quality. Some folks on this forum may have a different opinion.
