My battery needs replacing, and after a bit of a trawl here it looks like an Optima Red Top is a popular choice. Do I need new terminals too, or just the battery? Are there any other batteries I should consider?

Kind regards,

Jules

There was a thread on this - do a search.

good choice, terminals should be o.k.

Cheers, got it done this afternoon. Wasn't as difficult as I thought it'd be.

Did you go for the Optima Red top? Did you have to fit new terminals?

And where did you source the battery from?

Yeah I went for the Optima Red Top, I just did a trawl on the internet to see where I could get them from, and bought one from Tayna Electrical Supplies, £118 delivered to my door.

It fitted pretty easily, and I didn't need new terminals - although it would have been slightly easier if I'd got the battery with the terminals reversed (this is possible).

I'd heard that the yellow top was better for a GTR loaded up with Alarm, Tracker etc etc ?
