The battery on my Astra lasted seven years. I took my car to a garage, asked them to put a battery on it, gave them £70 and drove away. I have no idea what make of battery.
You people do make things more complicated than they need to be.

That's very true.

If we weren't so anal about our cars, we probably wouldn't be on here.

Not sure how many A/H are needed to start a derv Astra.

£70 fitted sounds reasonable. It may be some budget brand but should still last longer than you will.

The old Bosch battery had 680 CCA.....the new Exide 720 CCA which I presume is better.

Cold cranking amps?

£70 sounds about right for a Bosch Silver battery. Which is all that's needed on a daily driver.

Yes marginally better, basically means the internal resistance is a bit lower

Not that your application really needs mega cranking amps

I am certainly not patronising. I am obnoxious, insulting and, possibly, flatulent, but not patronising

That's what you get from buying via Amazon. 

In my experience of returning stuff to Amazon (proper, not Marketplace), as long as you don't go off script, they are very good at returns and refunds.  That said, the last return took a couple of weeks to be refunded, as the package got caught up in the RM strike.

Their slickness is what has helped them become the success they are.
