Save around 4 - 5Kg for similar money & go to Li Ion
https://furoreproducts.co.uk/lithium-ion-batteries
I no longer run Furore Products or Furore Cars Ltd, but would still highly recommend them for Acewell dashes, projector headlights, dominator
headlights, indicators, mirrors etc, best prices in the UK! Take a look at http://www.furoreproducts.co.uk/ or find more parts on Ebay, user names
furoreltd & furoreproducts, discounts available for LCB users.
Don't forget Stainless Steel Braided brake hoses, made to your exact requirements in any of around 16 colours.

This is certainly how I'm going when I'm ready. They can also be packaged at weird angles if I remember correctly?

I've used a Yuasa 17Ah battery successfully for a few years - it's a golf cart battery I think. It turns a 2 litre zetec lump over quite
happily and I've had no issues at all. It's small, light and cheap. I paid less than £30 about 3 years ago, looks like they've gone
up by a tenner since then.

Yes, can fit them any way you like, upside down if you wanted to! That Extreme AGM battery looks like a good buy if you're not bothered about
the weight, fitting a Li Ion battery is about the most cost effective weight saver I know of!

I'm also interested in size - smaller volume sometimes means packaging can be better if it can be moved down and centerwards. One of the most
awkward things I did on my fury last time was move the battery from up-high on the bulk-head shelf (good location for maintenance) down to the floor,
in the engine bay, right next to the starter-motor. It was a lot of mass to move, and necessitated get a Varley red-top to do it. Worth it though.
