Default New battery

Morning guys, nearly ready for taking the cars out of storage, so just wondering if anyone needs a new battery in the U.K? Have been looking at this one on ebay

019 100Ah Powerline Car Battery - Iveco Jaguar Jeep Land Rover Mercedes etc | eBay

4 year g/tee, for me its only summer use so may take a shot at one. Hope it helps someone.

Arty,

Is that one vented? No mention of it in the description.

It may physically be the right dimensions and have suitable capacity but an external vent is essential on these cars.

Thanks for the info, this appears to be the shop site for the ebay listing I posted.

Good prices from both sites.

Hi Graham, thanks for the heads up, but I do not know if this one has the breather pipes/holes

Just got a reply from ebay :

Hi in order to get the correct battery you will need to confirm LxWxH also terminal layout.
All of the wet car starter batteries will have vent holes which are plugged for transport.

Should be O.K ???
