I walked in Halfords two years ago, selected the most expensive
battery with the highest power rating and they fitted it - all for
£105.

Was this for your milkfloat? Most cars will only take one size of
battery.

That's never been my experience. Current wheels is on its 3rd
battery, each of different capacity.

Think you haven't read what was said. About selecting the most
expensive and highest current rating battery Halfords stocked and
having it fitted by them.

then you thought wrong

I'll give you 100 quid if the most expensive/highest capacity battery that
Halfords sell will fit either of my cars.

Most cars have only one size that will fit it

they don't of course

In which case there's no need for the vast number of different types,
then. You simply buy any you fancy and fit it.

- unless you're
stupid enough to fit a smaller one and have it rattling around.

car batteries don't rattle around, even if for some reason you forget to
fix them in place.

Only one with no knowledge of cars would think all fixings are the same
and will work with any battery.
