Battery Recommendations for MK4 MX-5

Looking to replace the battery for my 2017 Mk4 MX-5 and just wondering if anyone has some personal recommendations for batteries? Based in the UK and would love some insight!

Thanks in advance,
Phoebe :smile_cat:

Edit: Thank you everyone for the great suggestions. I’ve gone with a Yuasa YBX7053 from a local dealer. I did however see that GFC has a quite a discount on the same battery :smile_cat:

I bought the Bosch unit from there last year for a 2017 and had no issues so far. Quick on the delivery too.

Others i know have also bought Yuasa from there

Buy a Varta or Bosch, both great and the best of the bunch.

Halfords own brand are apparently made by Yuasa. They also sell Yuasa branded ones. OC discount might make them worth looking at.

Can’t understand the price difference between these two sites for the YBX7053. Has the first place made a mistake?

£74.02

Excuse the stupid question, but I looked at that Yuasa YBX5053, and it’s just got a red cone thing at the positive terminal. HOw do you charge it with a ctek with the red clip. On the OEM on you life a plastic thing and the metal terminal is there. Do you do similar with the Yuasa?

At least I’ve made most stupid post of the year, and it’s not even March :slight_smile:

Honestly I am not to sure, for whatever reason some places seem to have it cheaper than others. I think Halfords were charging around £194 and GFS were around the £114 mark (£87 with auto-applied discount code).

blueAgave below mentioned the YBX7053 is for stop start.
If your ND is a '17, it won’t have stop start, so I thought you’d have chosen the 5053 one?
