Another battery thread

[robsco]

Hi all,

So the time has come for me to stop being lazy and arrange to get a battery sorted for the Cerb. I fully intended to go for a yellow top this time round but I hear they are now made in Mexico and quality has dropped. I want something that actually cranks with some urgency rather than always feeling like it's on its last legs like all previous batteries have. What can the Cerb masses recommend? The car is a 97 4.5.

Thanks.

Thanks for your replies. I've taken a punt on the quality issues I've read about and plumped for an Optima Red Top. I'll report back with findings.

Another quick update to comment on the service received by Tayna batteries. Ordered the battery circa 12pm Thursday, package arrives at 9am Friday. Excellent.

Scuttle panel is quite a tight fit because of the height, but no real trouble. In terms of length, the battery shuffles a little so I'll pack in with some foam. Cranks the AJP over beautifully.
