Does anyone know where i can get hold if a small ish battery ?

You may need to specify what it is for. Car, bike, torch, calculator.

Sorry its for my watch




Only jokin its for the kit car so I would like a small ish one that doesn't cost the earth,everywhere i look they do cost the earth

eBay, watch repairer...

depends on the watch - ROLEX I'd take it to a dealer...

Is it waterproof? Most BS Dealers wont guarantee its proofness

It also depends on your engine size ..... BEC or CEC, 4 pot or V8?
Give us some more info

I bought one recently from my local scrapyard for a tenner, it looks new and is a Bosch zero maintainance calcium tech battery and is 44amp hour from a small car but starts my zetec fine.The previous battery i had for about 6 years and only paid £5 for that one from a scrapyard.

I bought a Calcium battery from Halfrauds for £100. Its quite big and a bit heavier than i would have liked, but i want reliability above all.

Its to go with a 2.0 zetec , with the bigger ones they just look ugly im trying to be a bit minimal in the bay.

Calcium doped batteries are ideal for tintops in dailly use but probably not the first choice kit cars --- if the battery gets completely flattened they don't recover well, same goes for silver doped chemistry batteries.

The smallest reasonably priced battery with enough capacity to do the job you will find is the size used in small japanese imports, example is the type 048 or type 049 or type 054 battery most of these batteries have the smaller japanese terminnals.

Personally I would stick to a standard smallish battery such as a a type 045.

When choosing the length of battery warranty is a good indicator of battery life.

Tanya batteries are a very good company to deal with, quick delivery and much much cheaper than Hafrauds.

I fitted one of these Reliant Robin/Lawn Mower battery back in 2006. I prefer the bolt on terminals rather than the post type. It cranks over an old 1380 A series engine, not known for their instant starting ability.
