Also, big LOL at $700 for a battery. Sorry mate, but you got torn a new one.

I just replaced mine with an AC Delco S56318 580cca for $155 fitted. 30 months warranty.

2 months short of 4 years, so can't complain too much.

Replaced the AC Delco with a Exide XDIN66MF 700CCA (42 month warranty) as recommended by the battery store (purchased both batteries from him).

Let's hope the Exide will last longer than AC Delco. Hoping for 5 years out of the Exide or the means for a major upgrade in car, but the GTI is still running fine.
