Mark Piper Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Battery on my SLR is u/s....anyone know how much a new one is and the cheapest place to buy one from? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMMO Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 My house. I have the original battery from my car which was in perfect working order when I took it out. I've just checked it and is still showing 12.4 volts even though it has been out of the car for a couple of months. Stuck a lighter diddy battery in mine. If you give me £15.00 for it I will donate £5.00 to NTL AMMO Edited by - Ammo on 24 Jul 2002 09:19:22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevefoster Posted July 24, 2002 Share Posted July 24, 2002 Just for info. I weighed my banner batt. 7.5kgs A redtop sealed gel cell at 26ah was quoted to me as weighing 9kgs. not sure I would want to go lower than 26ah so I stuck with the banner batt...

AMMO Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Steve I use a Hawker / Odyssey / Red Top type battery (all made by the same people with different stickers on). It is 13 Ah, weighs 5 kilos and is half the size of the old battery. It has a higher cranking amperage than my old (24 Ah?) battery. I'm a sucker for weight saving so I couldn't resist the loss of 2.5 kilos. AMMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Piper Posted July 25, 2002 Author Share Posted July 25, 2002 Ammo, thanks for the offer - if you were just round the corner I'd go for it - I've ordered a Banner - £33 plus VAT - no idea what it weighs, I just want the car to bloody well start! PS my Dad has/had an agency for those Hawker batteries in the Channel Isles, - virtually all speedboats out there seem to use them - presumably 'cos of their light weight and sealed construction...ISTR they're not cheap though...

tgracing Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Cheapest place to pick up a battery ? Sainsbury's car park. (Just kidding). Edited by - Davebo on 25 Jul 2002 13:41:58 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevefoster Posted July 25, 2002 Share Posted July 25, 2002 Ammo. So you can go down to 13Ah... Will reconsider esp next time the Banner gives up... Let me see about 2.5 years from now. But then again 2.5 kgs is 2.5 kgs... damn and blast I will have to get one...
