can't find a leisure battery to fit a T25!

[Olly]

I looking for a decent deep cycle leisure that fits a T25. There doesn't seem to be any that fit the tray under the seat, which can take a battery no more than 180mm high.

Anyone found a good battery to fit under the seat?

I'm thinking of just using a normal car battery, or maybe a starter battery.

It's all in the Wiki ^^

UK Code 096

75 A/H... nice snug fit

available from most good motor factors

not a leisure but I've been using mine for a couple of years ... great battery.

The original factory fit auxilary battery was a standard starter battery, not leisure.

Not all 096 will fit. Some are 280 x 175 x 175 mm high and some are 280 x 170 x 190 mm high... you need the 175 mm high one.

On the advice of Kev the rev I got a 096 £71 (I think) . I bought it from GSF - hellfords was £96! It works and does the trick. My only problem is I had to take the passenger seat off before fitting. Not a hard job after all I did it ! The 175 measurement is the one though.

Have a look at the tanya batteries website, i got a Varta 096 and its only 175mm high and fits perfectly

A little more than i wanted to pay but you tend to get what you pay for on batteries i find.

ok, thanks for help everyone. THink I'll go for the 75amp varta, although is a bit pricey. Need something decent though, going to run an electric drum kit on it..

Varta is a top make though, so should last longer than a budget battery.

My missus found out the hard way when i replaced the batteries in both our motorbikes, i bought a decent make and she got a cheapo through some friend, i paid about £10 more for mine, needless to say her's was fubar in 8 months, mine was as good as the day i fitted it.
