Whether you buy from Halfords or Lexus or anywhere else, the Calcium batteries are better. You will find that they normally have 4 year warranty against 3 years on lead acid batteries.

Some batteries are now gel filled to reduce evaporation and stop the need for topping up. They are described as "sealed" though they are still vented. They are not much different chemically from wet batteries but the antimony in the lead plates is replaced by calcium to reduce gassing. They are often referred to as a lead-calcium batteries.
