Battery recommendations

[SteveOS3]

I need to get a new battery asap as I have the MOT booked this week and just found that mine is as dead a a dodo. Won't charge or even register on my Optimate box - I know, I should have left it connected.....................

I have a 2.9 V6 and was wondering if anyone has any recommendations.

Cheers,

Thanks for the links Gents.

I didn't know the 'jump-charge' trick so just popped down the garage and hooked up a battery I'd kept from my old Merc' diesel. It gave enough juice to get the Optimate to recognise the Varta so fingers crossed I can get it charged over the next 24 hours.

Many thanks again,

Steve

Wel the 'jump charge' method has worked a treat. It started first time after 24 hours on the Optimate.

Thanks for the help.
