snitcher Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 If I were to change my battery from the standard Banner, what would be the best replacement? Redtop 40 or something else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheds Moderator Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 This has to be worthwhile - my last one, a Banner Non-starter Bull, regualrly used and charged, lasted 5 months. It is currently the subject of a warranty claim. When the replacement dies (another 5 months?) I will be replacing it with anything other than another Banner.

stevefoster Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I have had two Banners. The first lasted 4 years. This one still going after 2 years. I do regularly charge it and maintain the correct fluid level. I have found excellent at crtanking over the VX EX. It has never expelled any liquid inspite of being raced with slicks (I have a tiny catch tank arrangement to see if it had). I will be going Redtop 15 for weight saving I think but look at the Yuasa too. Looked at Yuasa. Don't fancy a gold caddie / lawn mover batt. Cold cranking is the key... It is not designed for the 300+ amp draw it might well see. Red top it is. My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep.

stevefoster Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 Another question... What do you need to use to charge a Redtop? I see their range of chargers ££££'s! My racing pics, 7 DIY, race prep.

Tonycaterham Posted March 13, 2003 Share Posted March 13, 2003 I have just bought a Red Top 700 based on previous posting on this site because of its high crank current nearly 3 time a banner, which was struggling to turn my engine over. It is a little lighter but not cheap (£104.53) and its black not red???!!! Got mine from Redline Motorsport (Middlewich Cheshire) www.redlinemotorsport.co.uk who were very helpful.
