My local factors is about half the price of Halrfords, you're paying for the name and the 3 year warranty.

750 CCA batterys designed for diesels I was buying in at £25 for the cheapies and £30 for the heavy duty, selling at £50, never had any back.
From Dynamic batterys in Skelmersdale lancs.
Trade accounts, just buy enough stuff this will prove you are a trader.
Me and my mate once got thrown out of a tool wholesaler in Manchester by a young scrote, telling us we wernt trade, whilst he was in the process of doing this, his dad came out, he was most apologetic and was gutted when he realised who we were, we spent £3000+ a week in the wholesaler down the road from him, and never a penny with him.
A few places will ask for ID, tell them you are just starting out, then as you get invoices etc you can easily show evedence you are a trader, and reap the discounts

Ive got 2 huge Varta truck batteries(about 750 amps each). they were about 48+vat each from local Varta agent. Big old batteries, The bigger the battery I find, the less they seem bothered about frost and cold.
If the tiny suzuki battery my car came with got cold(even when in good condition and fully charged) it just died on me.
Best thing in my opinion is measure the available space, decide where the terminals need to be and what type/size, then call the battery supplier and get the biggest possible battery.

i bought one in the summer from our local parts place, motorparts direct, for less than £50, and i think partco were about the same...
