In reply to Sharp: I recently purchased a new battery as the old one was on its way out.
There were a number of options, where a lot of people will just go for the cheapest or middle of the road.
I went for the most expensive purchased through Tanya batteries (the battery was £40 cheaper than most places quoted suh as kwik fit and automotive centres).
I went for the varta silver dynamic which had a capacity of 77ah and a cold cranking amps of 780A, compare this to the cheapest I cold get which is heir black dynamic capacity 56ah and cold cranking 480A.
Now I have a volvo so the lights are on as soon as the ignition is turned and wanted something that was going to be reliable for the Mrs.
Like others have said, those that are having the battery die after charging a phone need to have their battery checked as it may be on the way out or the previous owner could of put on a cheap battery during their ownership.
