Anyone recommend somewhere I might get the Hankook as they seem to be out of stock.
Tayna batteries where I got the Varta from want me to box it up and send it back to them for testing, not cheap given the weight and some couriers won't even accept it. So the warranty is not worth anything in reality.

Is that thru the BMS website? They don't seem to carry big stock, seemed to be regularly in and out of stock.. try tomorrow etc

So the battery was to all intents and purposes flat when you refitted it. Th battery is fecked.
6 months disconnected and my MF31-1000 was still showing 12.7 volts.

Lasted a lot longer than the MF31 did. Twice as long so far and still going.
The Platinum one I put on the Jag was second hand from the tip and that's still going 10 years later.

This situation has always concerned me, that's why I buy locally in case of a duff one. The last battery I bought was from ECP, ordered on-line to secure a good discount & collected by myself from the store that's only 5 miles away; that way I can always take it back.

My first MF31 lasted 8 years until a duff alternator took it out.
I’ve got an Oldham 1000cca and it’s be great longest lasting battery iv had. So farmost lasted 2to3years this one’s about 4years now n still going well.had the old girl over 12 years now Just know the battery
Oldham and Platinum are the same, I think.
Ones near Manchester, the other is a precious metal

Many are from the same production facility just with different branding.
The numax c31-1000 is a similar battery we fitted to a 4.2 SC l322. Same thing different name.
I've just checked my posts and I bought my Hancook battery 2 and a half years ago. I've kept it maintained all that time and it used to spin the engine over rapidly, I've noticed in the last few weeks that it's just not turning the engine over as well as it used to. Could this be the alternator? I've had problems with the RR batteries since I bought it. Is it an easy job for an auto electrician to test it in situ?
Could be a lagging starter also.
After swimming and changing the alt and the starter it spins over like a top. In addition to the mf31-1000.

Yes you will need a much stiffer, sterner, starter that doesn't lag.Could be a lagging sterner also.
