Which Battery

[Vombil]

go an ac delco or delkor battery around the 500to 550 cca should be heaps, i have never had one that lasted less than 7 years.

i would completely agree with the delco recommendation. I've seen some getting around that are so old they have Hebrew written on them that are still working perfectly! I had the same acid sweat you refer to brock05. Pop it in the bin and go to the wrecker and pick up another for $30 is my tip
