So my 5yr old ABX AGM battery has given up the ghost so a new one is on the cards.
I vaguely remember trying 2 different ones before and they were both too long for the battery tray so ended up with the ABX as it was a bit shorter.

Anyone replaced a battery recently and if so what did you go for?

Thanks!

My old one was 260mm wide and the tray is max 270mm so I couldn't fit any of the 278mm ones

I've ended up getting this 013 one with my trade discount took it below £80:

62Ah and 620 starting Amps should be ok I think.

I doubt the capacity will make too much difference in the real world, and my new one at 620A seems to have no problem getting the 4.3 started on one click so i'd say go with the silver.
