Has anyone experience of the above company? They have some 110ah batteries on offer with free next day working delivery but their trustPilot rating is low and they appear to have vanished from Ebay.
Many thanks Colin

Sorry, Colin, no idea about this company.
However, would thoroughly recommend Tayna - excellent service - delivered to a pub car park within 22 hours of my order - good batteries, loads of choice and reasonable prices.

If its Auto Battery Services there is one I've used in Rochdale, bought my batteries at trade price from them, direct from the shop. They aren't a fly by night enterprise.

Possibly not but the trust pilot ratings I saw were poor, mainly I think because of delivery delays. Anyway have now ordered via Tayna at a very competitive price so we'll see what ensues.

ABS are Advanced Battery Supplies of Stockport. I bought some 110ah "deep cycle" batteries from them which lasted roughly 15 months, the worst lifespan i ever got from a set. You did well to avoid them and use Tayna.

Battery suppliers are like chip shops, the busiest ones have the freshest stock.

You did well to avoid them and use Tayna. Either ABS are a bunch of con artists... or you work for Tayna! ABS Batteries reviews: "AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID Products - crap Customer Service - shocking 4 year warranty - doesn't exist Take your money and custom elsewhere and don't line the pockets of this company." "I bought a car battery (Advanced 069XD) from this company on October 10th so I would have a battery guaranteed not to give me trouble through the winter. As long as I use the car every day it just about keeps going, but left for a few days loses its charge and goes flat. When I rang the company, the owner was most unhelpful and rude, said the problem must be with the car. I paid for a complete check-up on the car electrics and alternator, had the battery charged, but within a few days the same problem. The battery won't hold a charge. Contacted them again, this time by email, but they refuse to honour the guarantee, insisting that they sell good batteries. My advice to anyone thinking of buying from them is "Buy somewhere else for peace of mind". These are not brand new reliable batteries and when you get a dud, they aren't interested in honouring the guarantee they advertise. 5 year guarantee and I need to buy a new battery after 6 months." "Best I can tell these are refurbed second hand batteries.... So it's pot luck if you get a decent one... " "Bought a new battery in February this year. In September it started going flat. I had it tested at a national battery supplier who said that the battery was no good. Contacted advanced batteries about my warranty. The guy that I spoke to basically said it's my car not the battery and I would have to jump through a lot of hoops to get a replacement. Thanks for nothing advanced batteries. Won't be using them again. The warranty isn't worth the paper it's printed on. Utter rubbish" "Used batteries. Web site does not show this. Don't buy if you expect a new battery.

Bought from Tayna - delivery was next day as promised and within the promised time window. Batts nicely packaged. So thanks for the input guys, I am now sorted and will post back if the batteries are not up to standard. Apart from that job done :-)
