Hi
I'm new to the forum but have owned a 72 Sprint for 35 years.
Battery choice seems to vary depending on whether you've stuck with the Ford terminals or moved to round posts.
With posts you have a good selection and can even get Lucas labelled batteries if 'originality' is your thing.
I recently bought a 4 year guarantee Hankook battery from a local to me national battery megastore for ?30 thereby saving ?7.50 delivery.
So, no, there are plenty of next day delivery firms offering better value longer guarantee batteries than Halfords

My local wholesaler supplies batteries with the number 037 which apparently is the designation for the original size and terminal pattern (rectangular posts). The battery is black with peel off labels. If you want to go extreme it wouldn't be too difficult to mock up an Exide Supreme label which is what they were fitted with new.
As for going bad after just over 2 years I'd be taking it back anyway! Also use a modern trickle charger like an Accumate and it's unlikely to happen.
