12v Car Battery

[mikeyscott]

Looking for a car battery circa £60 for a mate and I use at race meetings. Any suggestions?

He's using NIMHS, I'm using LIPOs

You're probably better with a 'Leisure Battery', which you can get from most camping/Caravan places. £60 should be fine.

Cool, any particular shops / brands?

A camping/caravan shop is probably the best place to go. Get a proper "Leisure Battery" as they are more suited to deep discharge than a normal car battery.
Hellfrauds also do leisure batteries, but are pretty expensive.

Steering away from Halfords as I reckon they're a rip off.

Hellfrauds are gerat if you can get a trade card, not too difficult to do, I have one.:thumbsup:

i would go for a Leisure Battery because they are smaller and lighter that other bigger ones.
