Tayna Batteries
I know Tayna Batteries are regularly recommended by various members, and I have used them myself in the past.
Watching a Youtube video this evening, about the Triumph 2.5PI, there was mention of a discount code for Tayna Batteries... NUMBER27YT is the code for a 5% discount. The Triumph video was also quite interesting and I'm sure I spotted a 75 at one point. Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do6L2APtj8E |

I've stopped using youtube due to their policy of privacy invasion.

I bought a Varta for our Fiesta from Tayna last week so that code came just a little late. It was £72 delivered next day & actually, l fitted it a day short of eight years since the AA fitted the last one which was only just sounding a bit weak. Not a bad record for that one which was £77 on a homestart callout.

Ive used them once and wouldn't again.
They maybe a few pounds cheaper however the warranty is basically meaningless, too much hassle sending a battery back if it fails and too many reviews showing they refuse claims and it costs the buyer even more. Rather buy the cheapest battery from Eurocarparts and have a 3 year hassle free warranty than use tayna. |

I can understand the issues with having to return a faulty battery.
I purchased a Varta motorcycle battery from a mail order seller in South Wales. Unfortunately, it wouldn't hold a charge. The seller told me to send it back, but it's impossible to find a courier to transport a lead/acid battery, for obvious reasons. The seller was less than helpful with suggesting a way of returning it, and returning it in person was not an option. I eventually spoke to Trading Standards/Consumer Protection and they suggested sending a carefully worded (recorded delivery) letter giving them seven days to collect the battery, etc., etc. This elicited an apologetic 'phone call and a refund, without returning the battery. I then purchased a Yuasa battery from Halfords, which is still going strong five years later. I did try contacting Varta via the contact form on their website, but didn't receive a response. I have no way of knowing if they actually received the message, or just ignored me. |
