Exclamation Buy the right battery

I suggest every one who has battery problems to buy the Exide Premium Carbon Boost EA1000 - 100Ah
I have tested this battery since a year now, it is not to be compared to any battery on the market for the V12
never, never a flat battery, never problems with cold weather and incomparable startups !
forget bosch and varta crap !

Can you buy them in the USA? also can a bad battery cause an alternator to burn up? My current battery seems healthy with 11.9-12 volts correction 12.4v at 45% when the car is off and the car starts quickly too but are there any ways to check more if its bad?

Just took the battery out and put my charger on it, it read 45% at 12.4v seems like the car had been running on the battery for a bit. Gonna let it charge and the volts should go up.
