Good morning Guy, I am pleased to be able to pass on some useful information, regarding the best price in the UK for batteries (I believe), which happens to be in my home town of Bristol. ******************* Bristol Batteries Ltd www.buybatteriesonline.co.uk
3 Dove Lane Newfoundland Road, Bristol, BS2 9HS 0117 955 0535 ******************* They are friendly and helpful. If you phone, or E-mail them, (You can tell them that I am a repeat customer of theirs if you like), they will do the sorting out for you and give you the options available. They gave me full trade price on 6 x 110amp/hour leisure batteries within the last 6/8 months and charged me £49.00 each +VAT and a nominal carriage of £16.00 for them on a pallet delivered to Hertforshire by courier. Now that ain't bad! Good luck with your battery search. Kind regards to both you and of course conni. I can't forget Connie now, can I? --- In [email protected], "Guy Morgan" <g...@...> wrote: > > Hi all > > The time has come to replace the domestic batteries on nb Virgo.
