    Stag battery required?

    Can anyone advise me what battery is best suited to my Stag, the type and battery number would be appreciated. I did try my local Eurocar parts outlet and they suggested a Varta battery at £120. (they did not quote a product number and their online enquiry service does not list Triumph Stag parts).

    in any case, I would be happier with advice from soc members who will have had some experience of what batteries should be avoided, as well as what ones perform best.

    many thanks in advance for any advice.

        As per Richard's post, Tayna Batteries. Good price and next day delivery. Used them several times, always good prices and excellent service. The Bosch S4 is £76 delivered from them. It is £118 with the discount code, £197 without - same battery

            I fitted one from Halfords (their own brand). Seems perfectly fine to me, but then it is always connected to a battery condtioner when not in use, which is the best way to keep a battery healthy and long-lived.

                Be careful, as most European batteries have the poles the other was round. I bought a battery for Asian cars, which have the same arrangement. Some of them come without a pedestal, too. That makes the building in easier. Good luck! Dieter - from Germany.

                          Tanya batteries for me.

                          I had the previous battery on a new C-Tek 5.0 battery conditioner, battery died after 3 years just out of guarantee, needless to say, don't use it now, waste of money.

                              Many thanks for all the additional posts received.
                              I received the Tanya battery and fitted it today. Unfortunately it requires charging so I will see what tomorrow brings.
