Default Battery's......recommendations

I want the most powerful big ass bastid battery I can fit in my Sapphy. I'm pig sick of the car dying on me for no reason when the electrics have all been checked out.

Any recommendations? Is it worth fitting a heavy duty one designed for a diesel?

Cheers

yep - halfords calcium HCB097

4 yr gtee - 20%off at the mo

when i had my old clifford concept 50 & all the extras (tracker, sense and tell etc) the battery would struggle to last from one wknd to the next

with my new clifford the battery lasts a month without use.

Apparently Calcium ones are shite for Cossies, halfords are good for batteries tho if you can get one that isn't a calcium one
