Cerbera Battery Replacements : Known to fit
Discussion
A list of high power batteries that are known to fit in the Cerbera engine bay as replacement batteries (as I'm replacing mine and need a new high CCA one!). This should be a WiKi article so all able to edit, and I will add an Excel spreadsheet that can be used to generate updates

Note: tvr-parts won't deliver batteries, they are too hazardous to transport according to their website. Strange considering every car on the road has one.Have ordered the Varta D39, £69.51 all in.
I've got this fitted in an old 4.2

The Banner Uni Bull 50 300 fits. I'll start a separate thread on fitting the battery as I have a few questions on mounting and don't want to clog this thread.
Banner Uni Bull 50 300
Capacity K20 (Ah) 69
Cold discharge test current EN (A) 520
Layout 0+1
Terminal 1+19
Max. length (mm) 241
Max. width (mm) 175
Max. box height (mm) 190
Max. total height (mm) 190
Base hold-down B01/13
This was what was fitted when I got the car.
On needing a replacement I was supplied the Exide Premium EA612 Carbon Boost 61Ah 12v Type 075
but it DOES NOT FIT because the terminals are the wrong side. My fault for not double checking.
Then by chance discovered that the seller Groves Batteries
Super helpful chaps who live in a hidden away small unit
Good pricing
Recommended to me by two other classic car owners
Look like they have a good turn over so I'll give them a plug <--- get it

stocked the Banner Uni Bull 50 300 so back where I started <--- get it, sorry
One word of warning, the Exide battery finder tool spits out rubbish - it suggests a battery for the Cerbera 4.5 I know won't fit as it is too tall.
Also as an aside these Banner batteries have got 4 terminals. The terminals on the other side have flats on them and holes drilled through the side
