Good business sense that
Loads of people on here use bosch
Varna not gonna be £40 worth better
In my opinion
OK! I guess you can't blame them for trying. I think I'll save my money and go with the Bosch.

Hi! I understand your issue [dodgy link removed]battery terminal placement can be a real headache when looking for replacements. One option is to check if your current battery has a part number and search for an exact match online or at an auto parts store. Alternatively, some batteries come with reversible terminals or adapters to help with fitment. You might also try specialty battery suppliers or forums specific to Freda owners, as they may have recommendations for compatible replacements. If all else fails, you could look into extending the cables safely, but that should be a last resort. Hope this helps!

In my opinion you dont get better more reliable batteries than Yuasa, if i couldn't get a Yuasa i would use Bosch as a second choice.
Avoid Euro Car Parts/CP4L own brand 'Lion' batteries like the plague, They are cheap for a reason.
This is based on 25+ years in the motor trade.

Hi. My problem is that the battery on my Freda has the positive on the left, whereas most of the replacement batteries seem to have positive on the right.
Anyone know where I can get the right battery?
Thanks
If you have tried all available methods and still decided that you need to buy a new battery, then try to look at the website of the store DODGY LINK REMOVED. This is a fairly large store with car parts, in which there is a good chance to find what you need
Have you tried extending the wires?
