12v battery help

[Wilma72]

Evening all,
can anyone recommend a decent, reliable 12v (main) battery with a good guarantee. The one I have in at the moment is too small and unreliable so I'm looking for something a bit bigger and fit for purpose.

The choice is overwhelming so any help or recommendations would be hugely appreciated!

Cheers
Jim

I've just recently put a 069 battery in mine, larger than standard as far as I'm aware. It fits easily in the standard location and is 70aH which is 10 or so more than standard I think.

Good post, am interested as well.

It helps everyone if answers are accompanied by weblinks to where bought or for description and prices.

Cheers.

Not the one I bought, but I purchased mine from a local trade outlet with only 2 year warranty. Did that so if there were issues I could just take it back to them, posting a battery isn't cheap!

That would be a perfectly fine battery though, 70aH and 640cca's. We need less than 500 I think on a stock engine.

Thanks all, very helpful

Good point about ordering on line as well – postage could be a fortune!

Cheers.
