i use batterymegastore

For me, whoever is cheapest and only for good old fashioned wet cell batteries. A Google might be worth a go, but i've had good service from Tanya and these seem good value :

Out of interest, why the odd 130ah battery ?

Just bought a couple of Numax batteries from https://advancedbatterysupplies.co.uk/. Free delivery next day and the best price I could find, no complaints at all.

I have had no problems with batterymegastore. The house battery is 5 years old and seems to be as good as ever.

Another vote for tayna.co.uk.

For open cell flooded lead acid, I use an access hire company in Nottingham

For sealed lead acid, Tanya are generally competitive as already mentioned, Battery Megastore ditto. Although I have on occasions got a cheaper deal buying off the shelf from Halfords! (Which is also the default option if I need a sealed lead acid battery in a hurry)

For gel and AGM, it's shop around for best price time

I wasted about 4 days of a holiday waiting in for batteries from Battery Megastore. Despite being promised that they were on a truck and en route on several occasions, they never were, and I got my money back. Ordered from Tanya 3pm one afternoon - delivered to boatyard in middle of nowhere 9.30am next day.

ETA the boat was in the boatyard in the middle of nowhere

If ordering from Tayna, put items in basket but don't proceed to checkout, leave for a while and they may contact you, deals can be done!

Top tip.
Will try this right now.
On a bit of a boat spending spree (brought on by the sterling downward spiral)

Out of interest, why the odd 130ah battery ?

Certainly true of cheaper leisure batteries. Numerous makes, all the same battery from the same factory!
