peter richards Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 check the terminal positions I got a red top a few years ago and had to alter the cables , it died after a short time , not as good as made out tbh, as I had to get rid of the surround as well I went and got a bigger bosche one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bignum Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Carry a jumper pack with you, optima batteries are useless at holding charge, so a couple of short journeys and starting the car and it`ll be flat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter richards Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 if you want just the look see if you can get a dud one plenty around as I think they are crap . then at a show just drop it in don't pay that money mate over rated and priced , ive got a red top here you can have just paint it yellow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 I’ve had a Halfords battery in mine and it was in there when I bought it over 7 years ago and still holds charge great. I suggest the above and have a dud one for shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraAyf Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I use yellow tops for starting my various toys. I do use them for the Supra but like Peter above I have to add cable extensions as the terminals on the YT are far too far away for the standard Supra leads. I wouldn't have one full time though as they lose their umph very quickly. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_harmer32 Posted January 8, 2018 Author Share Posted January 8, 2018 Cheers for the replies guys. Think i'll pass then and make a cover for a decent battery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a big whoop about them years ago on this forum...HCB 005...never looked back since. 85.50, 4yr garuntee. Terminals fit. And new models have a peep hole thing to show if ots holding charge or not...theres 2 varients. I got the 510 crank and 62ah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob W Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 Exide EA654 here, 580 Crank and 65Ah with 4 years warranty £72.92 from Tanya Batteries. Changed from the Halfords HCB005, which is still a good battery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
