Default Varley 30 Battery for Cosworth.

Gents,

Will a Varley 30 Battery be OK for a Cosworth powered track car ?

I believe they are impact resistant but just wondering if that too much or too little juice for the engine ?

Running a standard compression ratio engine and standard starter motor.

Hope someone can advise ?

Many thanks...........

Don't use a trickle charger, use a cyclic charger or conditioning charger.
