Battery replacement: S1

[Felix7]

No doubt this has been asked before, looking for advice with regard to a good battery to replace the current one with, ideally light weight, the current one has given up the ghost, although I have not tried to recharge it as yet. Seems to be a annual problem, although on this occassion I last drove her on Boxing day, so there may be a battery drain somewhere.

Thanks

Vulcan Batteries of Sudbury, 01787 881299 came to the rescue with a much improved product, a Varta Silver B11, 212L, 175W, 175W the exact same measurements and weight as the Bosch Silver 4P that started out in the car as original, runs 30% higher ampage(ere?) for better cold cranking turnover. Also has the correct lip for the catch plate i.e. identical in size and dimensions to the OEM battery. Should also do for a standard S1.

The company even dropped it off and helped me fit it, all by 1300!!, now that is what I call service!!!
