Does anyone know what makes this Yuasa battery so expensive: https://www.yuasa.co.uk/421.html It's available at a few places, but the cheapest I've found is £162.
The reason I ask is that I have one ... it came fitted to the A7 I bought recently. It looks very sturdy and appears to be reasonably new, BUT the spec isn't great: 50 Ah and 250 (En). It often runs out of power to turn the starter enough times to fire the engine.
I'm thinking of replacing it and it looks like the Exide offers better performance. I'm reluctant to dispose of what appears to be a fairly new item if there is some advantage to keeping it. Has anyone else fitted a Yuasa 421 or can explain its advantage?
