I always use Pheonix Batterys. Unfortunately they are based in Leicester but they are at all the shows.

Hi Dave we have just fitted a new battery. It pays to shop around. In our nearest town we have a camping and leisure shop 85ah battery £66.00 just up the road is a car parts shop the same leisure battery £ 49.99. Its very nice looking round camping shops but anything with Leisure on it you pay for. Good Luck Bob.

Hi Dave
I haven't checked all the links but I am guessing that they are pointing towards "leisure" batteries, and generally these do not specify Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) because that is not their intended function.... Try just getting a general starter battery from a local motor factor or even Halfords, I would suggest looking HERE for some info etc
Hope this helps mate

Keith
