As above guys my battery is dead where can I get one too. For a 4x4cos

 

i only know of one place that still does them round near me, tho being in preston thats a bit far for you to travel lol

 

Snap, lol. Will keep an eye on this.

 

Any motor factors will have 097 batteries in stock.
I dont think the retailers (halfords, A! etc) bother keeping them in anymore and will try and sell you an 096 with some gay looking adaptors

 

As said your best bet is your local motor factors.

Most do next day delivery

 

none of my local factors have square terminal batterys as they are no longer produced, as i said above there is only one place near me that does them and that is a dedicated battery place

 

Unipart should have them, I have 2 in work only got delivered a week ago from Yuasa!

 

my local unipart, general traffic, andrew pages and euro car parts did not have them when i wanted one for mine a year ago

 

I'm sure fps stock them

 

When i changed mine last month i went for a round terminal one along with the little clamps to convert it for £1.99

The clamps are on here ,mine are very similar

 

FPS keep them but will only(should) sell to other factors / suppliers. If you fancy a jaunt to Birkenhead I've got them on the shelf at work!

 

Yes fps only sell to motor factors, good job I manage one lol

 

Wasn't your mush on the back of the newsletter I got off Don from Liverpool was it?

 

Was having this discussion with my Dad the other day, I think very shortly they will be totally extinct!

I think if you look hard enough you may find one, other than that it may be easier to get "Round terminal" converters.

I got my original type not so long back from a local motor factors.

thanks for the replies guys. anyone bought an ebay the are cheaper than the ones local to me. they have a 4 year warranty so shouldnt be to bad.

 

Just 10 mins ago ordered a battery from here! www.tayna.co.uk


its worth cllicking on the site for there front page picture



not used them before, but if you like them on facebook you also get a discount code..


which happens to be FACEBOOK45

 

hhmm lovely pic on the front page

 

I had this problem so just changed the terminals on the S1 to round ones. Far less fucking around.

 

most factors can get em but charge atleast £20 for the privelege of having square terminals

you may find emptying the old acid and pouring in more new stuff will bring it back to life
ive done it before but i burnt holes in my old tshirts and jeans when i did it

 

Where can you get new acid for the battery as mine is fooked as well

 

You want distilled / deionised water.

You put that in then charge it, it then become acidic

 

About £60 from local motor factors with about a 4 year guarantee

 

Just turned up, 24hrs 40mins after ordering online

 

Well I got the one from eBay with 4 year warranty. Alpha batteries. Have to say it was super stick delivery and a shade under £53 well pleased and started 1st turn of the key.
