Start of winter weather in Scotland and my battery giving up the ghost.
Mate offered me an HB096 - 12v, 6400cca and 70Ah - for good price, but wondered if suitable for a series 3?
Yes, I would say that spec is suitable for a series but how old is it? If it's fairly new, I'd buy it if not you should splash out on a new one. Mine is 75Ah I think. It's been on for about three years and still going strong.
Great to hear old machine roaring back to life. Perfect fit in the battery holder and turns out it is a new battery. Never used as mate's pal changed his work van, and happy to clear it for half price. With temperature up here hovering around 4 degrees I even managed to get the flat Smiths heater up and running in the meantime!
