IMHO, battery from Halfords... I have taken batteries back for various reasons in the past and never ever been questioned about a replacement... Maybe not the cheapest (couple of quid in it) but where else can you take a battery back after 2.5years and get a replacement without a receipt??

As for battery type, someone else can help IMO make sure you get the correct output etc for your application.

Hi mate,

When I changed mine I fitted the Halfrauds sealed calcium one, think it was £60 and has a four year warranty.

LOL no probs Rob

had my car serviced the other day and they told me the middle cells are warped on my current one, and best to get it replaced before the onset of winter

You know my car mate Star Trek enterprise dashboard now, so need a decent one

Wouldn't have thought you can mount them on the side. The bats that you can do that to are normally a gel type, think theses are still a liquid inside.
