Battery 110 TD CSW

Hi Chris,

not sure about the proving that your current battery is ok or not, but I can tell you that I recently bought a battery through these chaps

and it was delivered no probs

snipped-for-privacy@gmail.com uttered summat worrerz funny about:

Take it to a Battery supplier and get them to drop test it, basically test it whilst under a dead short.

They will also advise on replacement but cheap is not always a good option, consider how long you want it to last for your hard earned and then look at the replacement warantee (sp?) such as 2 ,3 ,4 years... some will replace it as long as you keep the car so it's worth ringing around.

Here we tend to know all about deep cycle stuff for winhing and alike but seeing as your not doing that then it would be pointless recommendiong batteries that we know and love...and usually cost an arm and a leg.

You won't go far wrong with suppliers to the farming industry either as all farmer (real ones) are on a tight budget too.

Thanks all - I'll get it properly tested and then try a local tractor battery supplier I think?

I'll let you know how I do.

Should the battery check out OK - or even before - ensure that all earth and starter connections are good clean and tight.

If you haven't got access to proper test equipment then remove your battery and try it on your friends Landrover which normally starts alright.

The battery earth lead can be a problem on 90s & 110s, fasten it to the gearbox instead of the body mounting.

Very impressed with the Battery Graham got me at the April unnofficial, £35 IIRC for a huge battery, above the spec I needed.

Well there we go, it WAS the battery. Ireckon I killed it when my alternator packed up and I carried on charging it all the time then not doing any decent journeys.

I got a heavy duty Oldham battery (maybe an Optima when less broke!) for =A348+Vat at the motor factors here in the village, as I couldn't drive anywhere else of course!

Stared like a dream and seems to be holding charge nicely.

Thanks for your help folks, this group is fantastic - what a community.

And I moved the earth strap to th egearbox too, so thanks for that tip. By the way, excuse typo above...even my Landy can't actually 'stare'.
