Battery replacement

I seem to remember reading on here the other day about a battery replacement, but I can't find the thread now >:(
Anyway, I think I may need a new battery. This morning the X5 was a tad sluggish on turning over (diesel sport) and about an hour later the remote would not open the doors. It got better as the day went on but I don't want to chance a totally dead battery with the cold weather arriving now.

So any suggestions for a good battery ?

I would rather spend a bit more getting something that is top quality over one that is good enough. After all these cars have more electronic stuff on them than the space shuttle !!

Regards Si

Also when is the next get together ? I missed the last one cos of work but I am looking forward to meeting up and putting some faces to the x5's and of course a remapĀ  O:-)

a lot on here have replaced batteries with a Bosch S5 silver 5 year guarantee as when the batteries get old they start throwing up electrical issues
