what one to go for?

all the 3dr has is the lighting circuit, dash/dials and the ecu that needs power.

the batt is going in the boot so i of course a std one wont do as i dont want a facefull of acid if i bin it...

so, what one to go for?

just use the normal battery and put it in a plastic box

As said a plastic box and std battery is cheaper, though a lot replaced due to weight in a track car.
AGM as in oddesey can still crack/break open in impact and shower you with acid, the bonus here is the gel helps to make it stick better to your skin!!

cheers guys, not going to use a std batt as im not going to have a battery box lol.

the varley ones say non leak even if the case is damaged.

so will probably go for the one i posted.

cheers guys

optima car batterys are the dogs bollocks fully sealed dry cell left mine unused for about 2 years and got it out the shed the other day and started my rs1800 fiesta first time , i think they do 3 different versions red top , yellow top and a blue top all with different amp ratings . my red top was about £165 but that was 2 years ago
hope this helps

Optima are certainly good, they use a spiral agm, so are wet in that they have a gel, as they don't need topping up, and you can't as they are sealed a lot of makers call these dry, but this makes them very suitable for long periods of no use, as sulphation cannot occur.
Despite what is said give any battery enough impact and it will break, like anything else will.
