The battery in my Trans Am is dead and won't take a charge. It's one of those side terminal ones with the screw fitting (rather than the raised nipple type you get on Euro/Jap cars).

Looking around they're over £100 which is nuts, I can buy some adaptors to convert it to a Euro-style battery but if poss I'd rather keep it as intended. Anyone know where I could buy a proper battery without having to spend all that?

Cheers

That's useful, hopefully the polarity is in the same direction.

Cheers for that.

So I found a proper side terminal battery, however my old bolts are incorrect for it.

Anyone know of a UK supplier for some of these:

Usual places have drawn a blank.
