Battery/Relays/Fuses

Hi all

Can anyone recommend a decent battery? Not looking for anything too big, it's only turning over a 2.0 Zetec...

I'm looking for a tidy solution for my relays/fuses, either separate or all-in-one. Can anyone recommend anything / where you got parts from? Photos of your set-up would be greatly appreciated!

I use a small power amp on my st170... Small, quite light and works a treat...

Get a lithium battery.ultra lightweight! Mines just 0.5 kg

The tintop normal battery for a Mondeo Zetec 1.8 or 2 litre is short code type 100 rated around 74 amp hours 760cca -- that is a pretty big battery
The 1.6 uses a type 075 which is only slightly smaller. A type 027 should also be adequate. For lead acid batteries it pays to buy a premium grade 4 year warranty battery rather than the basic 2 or 3 year warranty ones. Exide or Varta are the better manufacturers. Tayna batteries is a very good reliable online supplier.

You can buy relays with built in blade fuse holders.
