Battery Replacement

My battery is on the way out on my 1998 MPI 1275 Cooper S I want to upgrade the ice a little so would like an increased battery out put. I live in the UK and would like to hear any advice and opinions on which Battery to buy. Any advice willingly taken.

Thanks Paul Z.

Replaced mine a few weeks ago on my 2000 Mpi Cooper. I measured the battery box depth (front to back) and width and bought the largest 12V battery that would physically fit the battery box. Its a maintenance free 55Ah instead of the standard 35Ah.

What i did was exactly that - measured that battery box. I got a battery for a 90's MG metro (non turbo) this is about the same specs as Raymond seems to have. More that adequare for spinning the engine over and a bit of ICE.

Another alternative is to buy a battery for a diesel car (more amps out) or if you can find one a dry cell battery for a caravan etc... (again more amps out).

If you want to run a big ice system in your motor the more amps the better but don't forget to put a main fuse onto the first 12V line.
