Battery Selection

[Gunslinger]

got 2 of them and they took £5 off the postage, happy with that, reasonable price £72.50 for both delivered, thats better than my local motor factors could do for cheap ones of a slightly lower rating

and as i said, getting the acid dropped in is nice and easy for me

thanks guys for all your help

Cant find such a bargain for my bus. I have a petrol sized battery & it sometimes struggles to cold start my 2.5 Di. I have found a Type 099 here

This should do the job. Anyone found a better deal than £60 for a Di battery with SQUARE post terminals?

Hmmm... bit of a trek for me. £59 might not be so bad delivered? I'll check locally first... Thanks TT

just make sure on the physical size, the ones i got needed me to remove about 5mm off the corner of the battery trays for them to fit, batteries being square and the corners of the trays rounded caused them to not quite fit, but it was only a small amount, and wont take 20 minutes to sort out or can remove the corner of the flange on the bottom of the battery

I got a Varta Blue E10 78Ah 640A CCA from a motor factor in Slough. It cost me £45 - RESULT

Merry Xmas, TT
