This may be as controversial as telling what type of oil I use, but I use Walmart batteries in all of our fleet.

I recently got a battery for my XJS there.

Within the last 6 months I also got a battery for my DB9 there. I did a bit of research online and found a cross reference that showed me the DB9 battery was the same as an X300 XJ6, so I used that to look up the type on the walmart computer and indeed, it was exactly the same battery. A "genuine" Aston Martin battery was $600 plus $200 to fit it (It's in the cabin, underneath the rear seat, genius design, don't ask)

Exide EA640 64AH 640 Cold Cranking Amps Premium Battery

4 Year Guarantee

Which also has a built in condition indicator, it fitted perfectly in my Tray but as its a little bit taller than the OEM, I had to make up a battery clamp out of Strip Strap to go over it.

Probably the best battery, that I have ever used on any Car and so I have put another one on the Merc.

Price: Circa £60.

In the last month I did some research on a new battery. I found these two to be excellent choices. Also is attached some information you may be interested in.
There is no venting on AGM technology which will protect your trunk from rusting due to escaping battery gases.
