Hi Guys,
I've been searching half the day for the best battery (that will fit) for my T25. The holders are under the drivers (Starter) and Passenger (Leisure) seats.
I have found 5 that fit to my dimensions (L = 335mm, W = 175mm, H = 175mm). Does anybody have any thoughts on which ones would be the best and why?
My options are:
1.) http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/buy-on ... od_61.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Car)
2.) http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/buy-on ... rod_7.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Car)
3.) http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/buy-on ... od_70.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Car)
4.) http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/buy-on ... d_103.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Leisure)
5.) http://www.alpha-batteries.co.uk/buy-on ... od_31.html" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (Leisure)
If anybody does know of any others which will fit and think could be better please could you also let me know?
I need both batteries as both seem to be knackered ...
Cheers Guys!!

Re: Best Battery - 5 Options ....
Mine hasn't got a swivel seat BUT i would say it will be very close so personally wouldn't risk it!
Re: Best Battery - 5 Options ....
Brilliant, thank you for your advice I found one in the end ... my seat swivels around and a "flap" covers the top of the battery. I 190 height will fit. For those of you looking for one that will fit I ordered the following:

Hope it hel0ps and you don't have to spend as much time looking and measuring as I did :S

Any UK code 096 starter from any motor factor, will just fit in the battery compartment. Alowing any lids to close.
