Spend a bit extra and save in the long run: <https://www.tayna.co.uk/ODYSSEY-PC1400-Battery-1400-Cranking-Amps-P8670.htm l> I've got 2 aboard the Defender and they are amazing. I've run one completely flat and it sprang back to life and hasn't missed a beat since. I've you're on Facebook, a couple of great groups for tips is Angry Puma's (yes complete with wrongly used apostrophe) and DEFENDERS & SERIES. Picked up loads of titbits on these and am able to help too. Good fun. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ I am indeed on Facebook and will do so. I've no objection to spending money on a decent battery - it's under a third more than I've recently spent, if that, and it reminds me to see when it is next due for a replacement. You use yours I presume daily; nowadays mine goes out twice a week as I've replaced car travel with cycling/walking as far as possible (parking is a nightmare). Td5's need a lot of battery juice to initially crank them over, and the use I give mine, particularly when it's had a couple of days in the cold without use, reduces battery life.
