Best Battery - 5 Options ....

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!!

Mine hasn't got a swivel seat BUT i would say it will be very close so personally wouldn't risk it!

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.
