There's a good place for batteries in Shrewsbury

Manbat on Lancaster Road

They do Varta which I rate but I know they also do Optima's

i'd stick with normal make batteries, the 3 people i know who had optimas had them die on them within 2 years, bearing in mind they are usually twice as much not really worth it

hi guys im new on here. with regards to the optima batts in my opinion they aint any better than a normal battery!! im a breakdown patrolman. and i,ve come across loads of optimas that have failed for no reason!{i have my theories why} the only advise i can give is use the largest leisure battery you can find as their designed to take a heavy discharge / charge rate! ideal for winches etc!!! hope this might help regards toad!

whats your theory toad

had thought of a leisure battery but space under the bonnet of a cherry is premium....so it has to be a very high power smallish battery.....

APB trading are way too dear......

Manbat seem to be favourite, good price & they got em in stock!!
