Hi, recently read a review of batteries tested in the UK in TotalBMW magazine and they found that the Varta Silver Dynamic/Bosch S5 Silver Plus (Scored 20/20) was the best buy, with the Exide Excell (scored 18/20) the best budget buy and the Varta Blue Dynamic S4 Silver a "Good Try" (scored 18/20) as it was slightly more expensive than the Excide.
Was quite and interesting article about batteries and how they tested them to find the best battery was also an eye opener.
Apparently the Varta and Bosch batteries are the same, just sold under different labels. I am not sure if all these batteries are available in SA.
