Need a new battery, I think mine is f****d. goes flat easily.. anyone can suggest what I need to buy.. does it matter brand?.. I think mines a type 075 thats what is in there now..
HELP THANKS x

Hi Cheryl,
Type 075 is one of the 'listed' sizes/type....buy branded (Bosch/Exide/Varta/Lucas) these have a better reputation and are generally better made.
Use the Promo Code WEBSAVER20 on the final checkout to get 20% off taking the price down to around £51.00

However.....many owners opt for a slightly larger battery that gives them that little bit more power in reserve:
It fits and works just the same:
Type 100
Again using a Promo Code but CP5LESS this time...

This one will cost just under £53.00 so definately worth the extra two quid for a more powerful option.
Free delivery...incidently even though they look like two different companies they are actually the same but trading under different names.

Cheryl..just make sure nothing is being left on to flatten the battery and remember, if your leaving the van stood unused for long periods I would recommend that you independantly charge the battery every 4 to 6 weeks (10 - 12 hours with a 4 amp battery charger)
Batteries do go flat over time and leaving them in a discharged state will cause damage.
Alarm systems/radio station memory & clocks don't use much power but over long periods will bring the battery down.
