New battery needed - Civic MK8

Yeah 10 years just goes to show how good Yuasa really are eh!

It’s maybe overkill for an old Car, but it’s never let me down.

Kicking myself now to think I was contemplating a £40 Chinese replacement.

You buy cheap, you buy twice as the saying goes :)

Depending on model Lion is usually the same battery as Bosch and Varta - they grade them off production and then brand them depending on quality - with Lion one of the brands for the lower tier - they are usually alright batteries, sometimes you even get lucky and a better binned one slips through, but shouldn't be the choice if you want something to last.

EDIT: I'm a bit out of date on the details now so may have some of that wrong - but there is only a small number of brands which actually have their entirely own design and manufacturing.
