Default XR5 2010 Focus, which battery?

Hi everyone,
This is a question on behalf of a good friend of mine.

His XR5 Focus needs a new car battery, the budget is around $150-$180 dollars.
There are no extra devices installed like a subwoofer or similar, stock standard.

What would be a suitable car battery, how long should the warranty be for?

Thanks in advance,
Marcin

Default Re: XR5 2010 Focus, which battery?

Supercharge Gold series
Bond Premium series
Century batteries

Either of those three are good, avoid RACV/NRMA batteries, junk.

The Supercharge Gold/Bond premium are 36 month warranties, I think Century are the same.

I'm due for a new battery soon... Anyone heard of ACDelco? Meant to be good. Can't remember if it's a 24 or 36 month warranty

edit: neither! 30 months apparently... http://www.acdelco.com.au/warranty.html
