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

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
Cheers,

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.
Kindest Regards,
Richard.

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.
