Ouch, that's expensive.
These guys have a good reputation on here and seem to have a good price (from my quick trawl).

The guys who fit batteries all the time swear by exide which is OE, or Yuasa. Yuasa is also Halfords own brand which can be got for a good price with a trade card.

Tayna will also price match if you drop them an email with details of the cheaper price
Great service from them in the past and would highly recommend them When you are dead, you do not know you are dead. All of the pain is felt by others. The same thing happens when you are stupid.

I no longer fit Yuasa batteries, have had several that have failed after 1 year to 18 months and replaced them under warranty.
I now try to fit Varta, same make as Bosch, different label, not had any problems with them. 1994 Defender 300tdi 110 commercial

I've had 2 batteries (my start stop battery and the wife's car) recently from Tayna and the service has been excellent. They also do 10% off for blue light card holders if you have one or know a friend that can order it for you. MY16 Landmark - Yulong White

Hi I got this advice hopefully this will help you As long as you haven't got an AGM fitted as original (it'll say AGM or VRLA on the sticker) then the EA1000 is the fitment for Discovery's. The AGM battery is a start-stop battery, but they do also fit them as standard around the age of your Disco without the start-stop function so it would be worth double checking.
We would class the EA1000 as the best in class - the Bosch (made by Varta) is very good but the Exide can recharge quicker so is better suited for a Discovery.

As mentioned.
For lead acid battery for Discovery 3 & early discovery 4 use Exide EA1000
for later Discovery 4 fitted with an AGM battery use Exide EK950.
Don't forget to reset the battery management system.
regards
Steve
