Hi am in need of a new battery
Atm I have a non standard one but I am wondering what people use or what can I use without having to change the altetnator? I saw some Peugeot ones mentioned before now?

Cheers

P.S I tried a search but couldn't really find anything

075
It's the biggest battery you can fit in the box.

Also does anyone know a good place for batteries?
Halfords seems very expensive or is that just normal price these days??

I got mine from eBay.
You could put three 075 batteries in and your altenator would be fine.
