Re: Which battery should I get NB8B
I have something like this in the racecar. Lightweight and good price.
It'll sit in the garage for 3 months and still starts fine first go. Albeit, I don't have a stereo or alarm system.

Re: Which battery should I get NB8B
About six months ago I bought a Power Sport Battery from the 'batteryman1959' on ebay. $125. So far it seems okay, but only time will tell.
Do a search on "pc680 agm" in Vehicle Parts & Accessories.
Note that it has bolt on lugs.

You can buy cheap batteries or the original type which lasts about 3 times longer.

I got myself the OEM Panasonic one (cost a bomb). I wanted the MF43 but it doesn't sit flush in the boot holder area because it's a bit high. You might have to modify the fastener a little else you will have a bump in the boot area.

Re: Which battery should I get NB8B
All good everyone I'm just getting my mechanic to do it, no point buying a light weight one unless the rest of the car is stripped out too...
