Battery Replacement

Would appreciate any advice on replacing car battery for my 2007 model, its a bit sluggish to turn over in this cold weather, although could be that its not used every day and for short journey's. Its currently got a Land Rover Varta 90Amp P150 which I assume is the original.

Would it be best to replace like for like or just go to Kwik Fit or Halfords, a Platinum make battery was mentioned at one?

Many thanks, great site, still amazed at the knowledge out there.

I used the platinum one. ( from Halfords) more power, 5 year warranty. Starts well, loads of power even at -5 after the park heating being ran for 30 min

Thanks for the heads up guys, however as the snow arrived took the easy route out and went to the local Independant Fultons near Workington and they fitted an Exide, starts like a machine gun now!
