Battery specs - Anyone know?

[Mr HollowPoint]

Hey guys, just looking at buying a battery for the 280, as with any luck we should be putting her back on the road later this year and I'm trying to make sure everything is ready. Can anyone tell me what kind of battery I need? Cold Cranking Amps, pole size, pole orientation, etc. Any and all help appreciated.

Hi, I put a Halfords HCB072 on mine and it has been fine. They are a bit expensive but have a 4 year guarantee.
Start up power 570 amps
AH 70
Right size terminals and fits the battery tray very nicely.
Hope this helps.

Cheers Andy, much appreciated, just the info I needed!

If you get a halfords trade card you get about 45% of the list price of a battery.
