Try & get one with the longest warranty perhaps?

I have read up and it could point to a drain and not a battery. I see 3-4 drain issues but will start with the battery. I will charge it again today and leave it off over night then try it again see if it has life in it or not then assess. Cheers for the tips. In a weird way I hope it is a duff battery easier to replace perhaps. Current Cars

This is the one I got fitted 4 years ago. I top it up once a week with my Ctek charger as car only only gets used a couple of days a week for short journeys. Though its what you feel comfortable with. There are so many variants out there to choose from. Good luck

Cheers Strider. Sounds like I do the same as you in relation to short journeys. Once or twice a year its 100 miles+ but mainly its 5 mins here orschool run there.

An 020 battery will fit nice and snugly into vehicles of your vintage. Gives a little more comfort factor. Doesn't negate the need to use trickle charger every now and then though! Previous cars:

019/020 refers to the dimensions of the battery.
