Thats what happens over here, its a scam and i use my blue bins for storing outboard g/box legs in and all else goes in the normal black plastic bin.
Fact is it all goes to the back of cavehill to land fill, there is no recycle plant in N Ireland, it was jobs for the boys if they gave up arms.

Halford are good for returns as you can walk in all over the country . if still in warranty. But you be in Europe when it does die in middle of the night.
I've sent 2 back in last 4 years that came from cheap ebay 105ah ones . that's why I went and built my China one's. £1400 for 2 × 280ah plus crimp lugs and wire extra £50.00 collected from S Wales befor Rye meet. Fitted in Hereford. So there made in England .warranty in Wales.

I haven't lost it but it has changed a bit, when I phone my brother he keeps telling me to stop talking posh
I can't understand some of the things that he says

I just I would let you know, I spoke to Alpha Batteries today. They immediately offered me £5 off the price of a battery, so when I mentioned the promo code he said that I could either have the £5 off or the promo code which I wasn't happy about because he is offering £5 off to everybody.
Then I asked, if I had a faulty battery would they charge to send it back? He replied that the charge would be £20 per battery. So taking everything into account I may as well buy batteries local. ie. Halfords no problems exchanging batteries if still under warranty.

Don't know what battery you are looking at but I just tried the code on the Lead Carbon battery I would recommend and I got just under £15 off (7.5%). so that is better that the £5 'everyone' gets.
What does it matter to you if someone else gets £5 off? Maybe you would prefer £5 off instead of £15 as long as no one else got ANYTHING off?

if you are the habit of buying rubbish batteries that fail and need replacing, I think you are correct, Halfords ARE the best source for those

7.5% only usable online and not applicable to lithium. It’s listed under discounts.

I've seen this stated a few times about the discount not applicable to Lithium.
I don't actually use the codes with Alpha Batteries, but I do check to see what others buyers may see and I have not seen that limitation.
For example, they have an extremely well spec'ed Lithium battery with Integral heating pads, BMS with Bluetooth accessed Battery Monitor (which in my experience has NEVER failed to report the correct SOC or cell info, unlike many budget brands which are plagued with internal Battery Monitors that are more use as a RNG ) at under £450 for the 100Ah version which is a very good price anyway.
But use the code ...

Maybe the code is not meant to work, but it seems to far as I can see?

I don’t see any disadvantages of the code only being available online (not saying that was implied, just a comment), they are happy to discuss options and help with making a choice over the phone. To then order online is very easy and probably the best way of doing it by making sure all the details you input yourself are correct and you instantly receive an order confirmation.

Last time I purchased a battery from Alpha I chose the standard FOC delivery but it came the next day anyway.
