Yup

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

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)
