andy21 Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Battery seems to have died after 4 years. Always in the optimate but recently it wasn't on it for a day or so and had no power. Is the Banner the best option or are there any others that are better/cheaper/lighter etc? Tanya the best place to get one? Looks like the Banner is about £68 delivered.

Member Jonathan Kay Posted March 26, 2014 Member Share Posted March 26, 2014 There's lots on this in the archives but inevitably very few like-for-like comparisons. Mine lives on a conditioning charger and I'm very pleased with the Powervamp PVR 25. The Powervamp Clubsport 22 is cheaper. Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cskip Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 If you want smaller and lighter then: Varley Redtop (20 or 25) Odyssey (20 or 25) RMD 25 They are in descending order of price. I have had both the Varley and Odyssey in the past on a xflow car and both worked well. The Varley didn't like being left on the optimate and eventually leeked (circa 5 years). Last week I bought an RMD for by XE, as it was cheaper and lighter. Seems OK, but only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Ford Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Quoting cskip: The Varley didn't like being left on the optimate and eventually leeked (circa 5 years). Too much driving in Wales, probably. The ultimate in lightweight batteries are lithium ones, which are starting to get vaguely affordable but you need to be sure you're not going to accidently drain one, as it'll probably kill it.
