Hi, it's me again,
I am going to purchase a battery for my 1984, 1.3t, 1.9 petrol Fiat Ducato van,
does anyone have any advice on which battery is the best to buy?
I have looked at the varta D21, but am wondering if there are any others I should consider?
Cheers
Darren

Always used "Varta" in my boats,, which is a cruel enviroment,, and they have been superb,, dont think you can go far wrong with them. :thumb:

I expect there are cheaper,, can only speak as I find, not the sort of thing you want to go down when you are 20 miles or so out at sea.. :RollEyes:

Loads of advice on here, just do a search on LUCAS and you will turn up threads on batteries.

Not got one!

Since 2006
We use Banner starter batteries as replacements on our forklift fleet. Very reliable and no known premature failures. Banner possesses the latest ISO 9001 and ISO/TS 16949 quality certification, which I suppose makes them pretty good! I think it says on their site they are OE fitment for BMW and Skoda too.
In a recent MMM magazine test on leisure batteries, Banner were one of only two makes actually matching the Ah claims made of the products.
I think it's the 'Power Bull' we use as starter batteries and their leisure product is the 'Energy Bull'.
Hope this helps.

I have used both Banner and Varta on trucks and fork lifts with no problems at all......but I have just replaced my RV engine batteries with multi cell appear very good and very competetive on price/quality not to say they are cheap.

hope this helps Rick.
