Yup

the higher one may be tempting, but think it is a different shape / terminal arrangement, so may be tricky to fit.

There are 2 70 amp batteries list. What's the difference ..... apart from £27-ish ?  :y

the OE one is as fitted at the factory

the others are the VX GO batteries

What the actual difference is I've no idea.

On a similar not I bought a set of OE front brake pads that retail at near the £100 mark, and they feel a lot heavier / more substantial than the aftermarket vauxhall ones.  I will weigh em and see if there really is a differnence.  for the record, they cost me less than the normal tradeclub price  :D  (£11)
