You can't go too far wrong at that price and three years warranty. I wonder what the UK price difference is between that and the 5 yr warranty on the HSB019?yµ (idµ - eAµ) ψ=mψ

Plus 1 on the yuasa battery
was also very disappointed with the Exide EA1000
Pics are from there web site of the standard prices between the 2 x models of yuasa
I got the YBX5019 from halfords, trade card , 5 x year warranty and fitted for me for £120.00
Plus wouldn’t buy a battery offline again because of the hassle returning it plus many couriers wouldn’t accept a battery, so buying one locally will at least make life a lot easier to return it if there’s any issues

I can recommend the Yuasa battery too as been very durable
I dont have one of my Disco but we have them of some of out mobile stages at work where a 12V hydrolic set up is used to raise and lower the roof. Time and Time again we drain the battery to 0 and it recharges every time and holds charge. we have had a few for 4 years now and they still work fineDiscovery 3 - Black SE with HSE upgrade

Was going to go for the 020 but alas the 019 just about goes
Had mine since jan, the exide would only last a max for a few weeks, yuasa lasts a good 5-6 x weeks
Must admit Was thinking the other day when the D4s had 2 x batteries , wondering if it was when it went to the 8 x speed , or the push start facility , I get confused very easily u know
