Sagaris Battery?
Discussion
Has anyone else had problems finding a battery to fit the Sagaris? I`ve spent the day looking around Halford and various independant traders to locate a battery but aint found one.. Too small, too big, mostly wrong polarity and then the correct ones had no 'lip' to secure it in place... Suppose I`ll have to wait on the dealers opening Monday (and the weather happens to be nice this weekend too 
)
One other things, has anyone experienced the car winding down the window as the battery goes flat? My car was parked (and covered) a fand when I came out to it, the window was done about 1/2 way - almost like the car has detected the flat battery and opened the window to allow me to access the manual pull cord..

What a coincidence, just bought one, identical to the original (Yuasa 069 74Ah). Spent half the afternoon searching, ended up at SC motor factors in Forest Hill (branches in Maidstone, Sidcup, Strood and Welling). I've a similar post already, gonna post a pic and specs there for guidance, if you find an online retailer please add deets to it. Ta.
I bought my T350's new battery from www.performancebatteries.co.uk. Arrived the next day.

I wish! If it had done that this weekend it would have saved me a hell of a load of hassle 
Mine just dies with no window winding down :PFunky said:

Windows stay as is on power drain.(there is a method of how to get in after battery failure, PM me- in manual too!)James
If you dare, put the offending Door ECU in the airing cupboard or similar overnight!
That should sort it!
Trust me (or not!)

)I also noticed some poor cabling when changing the battery.. the main fuse (in-line from the +ve) seems to have "rust fur" just as it entered the small black fuse box - I wrapped this with proper tape and will re-make the wire's when she's in storage in about a months time.
