as the title says, im after a new battery and getting mixed responses from people. I have a 1275 metro engine, with inertia stater. i found that my current battery lasts about 3-4 days, then struggles to turn over the engine. i had a loko at the battery, and its a 038, which im guessing isnt strong enough to cope with the larger engine. lots of people have been recommending 063 pug 306 diesel batteries (http://www.monbatuk.com/ducelier-063.html) but i have slo been recommended a 075 battery as well (http://www.monbatuk.com/ducelier-075.html)
any help would be great! |

075 approx double the capacity of the standard 038. Actually I thought the 075 was the Pug battery ??

Hanna and I both use the pug 306 diesel battery. Works a treat and is the perfect size

Not off hand but the 075 is a snug fit, can't really go much bigger.
