Got an oem one a few weeks ago from my local Honda dealer for £67, couldn't really complain at that. 3 year warranty too.

£60 plus delivery.

This place is cool.

Just got an call from them, telling me that they don't have the battery for the import but is it ok if we send the UKDM one. Was nice to know they are looking after the customers.

Once you get it, I would recommend quick release clamps. I have these on my track car
& always disconnect the battery when not in use. Never goes flat.

I know its been said before, but I got my last battery from my local Honda dealer, it was £60 with 3 or 5 yr guarantee. Can't complain at that, IMO.

Where can I get the quick release clamp from?

And is it easy to fix.

ebay I have used them a few times

you cut off the end, and clamps down with screws

The one I linked to doesn't require cutting your battery leads, it clamps on the battery terminal and then the lead clamps on to the end. Twisting the knob on top breaks the circuit

You can get a fused one to avoid that, but the whole point of them is to stop the battery being drained
