replacement battery for MK indy
Hi
After my last post regarding battery problems it is now confirmed that the battery is knackered.
Now I have another problem. The HCB093 battery from Halfords fitted the Indy like a glove and had a decent col crank amp rating etc.
This battery is now discontinued  . Hlafords do not stock a battery now with the following specs.
cold crank amps 515
amp hours 80
footprint size 200mmx170mm height 170mm
Anyone any idea of a battery that meets my needs and a national stockist that would do it.
Engine is a 2.0 pinto if that helps.
Many thanks
Nigel

thanks, forgive my ignorance but is red top a make?
If so I take it the model is 25. Where do you get these from?
Thanks

Only snag with that is it's half the size and weight so will need a mod to the battery tray to fit. But saving weight is a good thing, Yes? Got
the same in mine, also on 2L zetec.

80AH seems a little excessive for a 7 type car!

Trade Standard battery codes are all three digit - 035, 055, 075, 093
Just go down to your local motor factor and ask for a 093 battery
Or try this site --- just type in 093 in the search box
