A commended performer in our last big battery test, but the Numax Premium couldn’t repeat that kind of result this time around. While it made a sterling effort in the part discharged cranking test, unfortunately it only managed three starts after spending 24 hours at -18°C. And despite a healthy looking 43 AH rating, our test bulb was only kept alight for 195 minutes.

Introduction
On a charge to find the best car battery from 8 top buys
UKBatteries Value
Value by name but not by price or performance, judging by our test
UKBatteries Platinum Prestige
This first offering from UKBatteries couldn’t be more different from its Value battery
Odyssey PC 925
Flat-plate AGM technology means stunning performance from a battery that’s actually smaller than the 063s in the group
Lucas Premium 3
Yuasa is no longer supplying batteries to Lucas, but this doesn’t seem to have been detrimental to their performance
Exide Excell
One of the few batteries tested here to be priced under the £40 barrier, which makes its average performance in the test rather more acceptable.

Exide Maxxima 900DC
Our first AGM battery boasts 900 amps of cranking power, despite not being much bigger than a standard 063 casing
Exide X-Tra Plus
This wasn’t the outright best performer, but no other product here can beat this battery’s trade-off between output and price
Halfords Standard
A surprisingly good battery, considering it’s from Halfords’ standard range
Halfords Advanced
The advanced range of batteries from Halfords uses calcium technology, which bumps up the price, warranty, and, in theory, the overall performance
