Battery

Post by Cal »

Hi all,

Went to start the EK today and the battery shit itself. It started after jumping it, but it's at least 5 years old so it's had it.

What's the best size and type to get ? I'm still running standard electrics (generator, no radio).

Should've thought of that :oops:

Been a while since I've had to buy a battery. Didn't get much change out of 200 bucks for a battery and two terminals :shock:

Peter,

Take your old battery down to Globe at Davies Road, Padstow. I've used them since the year dot and have never had any problems.
