New battery time...any particularly good deals ?

My car is on its original battery, but seems to be requiring more and more TLC from the CTEK, so it's time to bite the bullet with the extra rigours of Winter driving round the corner I think.
Any particular recommendations, or anyone seen any obviously good deals recently ? "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

I haven't had to replace batteries on the D3 or 4 lately but most are still recommending Tayna.

I believe they have stopped doing the black one … a discussion on here revealed the warranty is from Halfords, not Yuasa, which may be a factor. I was also told by one of their fitters they don't shift may because no-one keeps cars long enough to justify the extra spend on the longer warranty. truth probably falls somewhere in the middle of that.
