a lot of people run pug 306 diesel batterys

they fit in the box and have a bit more power in them

[Mark1275GT]

Is this true ?

Is this true ?

> You dare to doubt the Bungle ???? >

Yes he is 100 % accurate, I have a pug batt in the clubby and a honda batt in the cooper, you can use a honda accord 98 - 02 battery but they are more expensive that the 306.

The 306 Diesel one is ideal as it is a bit heavier duty.

Niether will do any damage to the mini electrics...

so just get any pug 306 diesel batterys?
can i pick one up from halfords ?

[nmt_oli]

Yep, cant remember the batt code off the top of my head, but its a fairly common one. Fits PERFECTLY in the box, so no worries about movement. Also has a load more capacity- good for winter.

They are the same but tell them it is for a 97 pug, thats the one i use, slightly higher ampage...

[Mark1275GT]

halfords have em plus other types aswell. just measure your battery box and then go and measure the batteries on halfords.
