I'm thinking of buying a smaller type battery and seen this one on ebay

eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace

Anyone got one of these, if so any good?

Spend a bit more and get a much more powerful one, I bought one of these, same physical size, much more powerful, expected life is about 8 years

I had one on my MNR with a ZZR1400 engine and it performed very well, I have one fitted to my TR1KE and its spot on.

Well worth the extra £40 for peice of mind and a name and backup support you can trust.

I ran one of these £60 jobs in the westfield and have one in the Mallock.

Ebay price is cheaper than the same items from Rally Design

Thes are the same batterys as supplied by Rally Design.

Same size as the Varley 25

I had one fitted to my first Indy in 2004, lasted 2 years while I owned the car with no problems, I bought another one for my 5 litre V8 TVR, again had no problems with it in the 20 months I owned the car, they are a very powerfull battery, no problem turning over a hi compression 5 litre, I have just bought another for my Aries, good easy way to save a bit of weight.

I also bought one of these to fit it in.

I've had one on for 4 years. Never a problem... even after standing for weeks (3months once) with the immobiliser warning flashing away. Never bother with the battery cut off switch.

If you drive your car regularly, yes. If you use your battery for testing electrical circuits more than driving the car, no.
