I'm stuck with whatever Halfords sells in store as stuff like these with lithium batteries in them aren't shipped across to NI by air, most retailers won't ship them here

Once it's totally flat 9/10 it's knackered
picked up a new battery from carparts4less yesterday - their ebay store currently offering 8% off some of theirs -
which, surprised me, seems an ebay offer, and the actual invoice from cp just shows original price.
was dpd delivery in 24hrs , first exide ever, to replace earlier bosch

You might get away with it. I ran my battery down a couple of times due to a fault with the alternator.
I was expecting to have to replace the battery but seem to have got away with it.
If there's an explanation for the battery drain and it's something you want to mitigate against them grab a charge pack. But if you're having unexplained issues get it looked at.

I bought a cheaper one (Yaber YR800) in a pinch on Amazon for my daughter to keep in her car, but she just left it in the house, which was good luck when her boyfriends car had a flat battery, I took it out to them, and obviously had no issues on a tiny VW Up.. but I kept it in my car for a while and when our US truck loving guy in work had a flat battery in his 5.7L Hemi v8 Dodge RAM (wholly inappropriate for the UK!) he was asking around for anyone with jump leads of a power pack, and two of us helped out, a NOCO Boost GB40, and this cheaper Yaber YR800..
The Noco tried to turn it over, but just kept cutting out.., so I was a bit reluctant to even try the YR800, but it worked! amazing really, how anything that small can get the current needed is almost physics defying..
Seems OK for £80.. definitely would say that any decent pack is worth the money..
I would definitely over spec it though, if you read reviews, the most negative ones tend to be people using them on vehicles closer to the top end of their claims..
I gave the YR800 to be daughters boyfriend to keep in his car now, but looking at the larger Noco Boost, the lack of proper display and other features means I might take a punt on the Yaber YA60, it's USB C, has PD charging, and DC output, so might offer some flexibility..
