New battery fitting

[Jeff]

All of you people talking about battery removal,no one has mentioned what type.Mine has just died it is (was) a 077 which was fitted by RAC some time ago it is quite a bit smaller than the 069 which is recommended for the Stag. It seems to have been up to the job and would be lot easier to get in and put the clamp on. Any thoughts.
Thanks

Loads of info in the search box!

SX. There is something a bit odd going on there. If there was enough power/voltage in your battery to spin the engine over, there should have been more than enough to operate the Lumenition kit. I would expect that to keep working at voltages below that necessary to operate the starter. I would take this as a warning that the Lumenition system is not working as it should be, and might be getting "Tired".
Time will tell!

Hi Mike, thanks for your reply,
it wasn't Lumenition I was having probs with it was the lights, during the MOT the lights were on and not enough juice to turn the starter to move the car forward to the rolling road, when lights were turned off the car started. The fault sounded like the one Paul was having. Its no shame for the battery it is in since 2000

Hi SX. I used the LD Parts guide (see above posts) and went onto the Halfords website and selected a 570 HCB 072 Calcium battery with a 4 yr guarantee for £102. They offer an alternative standard battery for £92. The 570 just squeezes into the space (I did check the measurements before buying....). Make sure you fit it the right way round so you can connect cables to terminals! Here's the Halford's link if you need it:
