This one was recommended to myself, it's got CCA of 720. It's for stop/start motors, so, can take the punishment?Mine I think is no longer oblong.
Noticed it doesn’t quite have the whiz, turns over but will not start.
280 with Jenveys high comp etc and think it doesn’t have enough on cranking to work everything else.
So what are you fellas I’m using? Any recommendations?
Great. Does it fit perfectly with the top frame?This one was recommended to myself, it's got CCA of 720. It's for stop/start motors, so, can take the punishment?

Got it from BBL in Bristol for £150
Yes, as per the photo. It sits a little lower than my previous battery, but you could put a rubber pad or something underneath to help with vibration - that's my plan.Great. Does it fit perfectly with the top frame?
I’ve found some too narrow etc
Strange design really, hate the way it has a metal clamp surround, always makes me nervousYes, as per the photo. It sits a little lower than my previous battery, but you could put a rubber pad or something underneath to help with vibration - that's my plan.
Not only is the clamp risky for short circuits when working on the battery but so is the orientation of the posts. I'd rather have the positive terminal towards the centre of the car and away from the bulkhead. A lot of people fit a battery this way around.I swapped mine for a Toyota battery bracket. That frame is a stupid design.

I’m totally with you and @jonbills on this one especially as I lacquered mine to avoid a short and still managed to get a rather large spark.Strange design really, hate the way it has a metal clamp surround, always makes me nervous
