Hi,
Can't find any recent Battery threads for replacing my power box in 98 TD5 110.
Old one is a Yuasa 644 Cargo which I can get from Tanya's Batteries for around £170 delivered.....
Just wondering if anyone had any other suggestions?
Thanks

Down your way pop along to a farm machine parts place, 663/664 [ way around terminals are only difference ] common on tractors and other farm machine's.

Good thinking although it's all boutique boutique farm shops down our way nowadays!

The one i linked has the terminals in the middle to help with reach. It has lots of good reviews

I use this one in three land rovers and the tractor. LINK

640SHD YUASA CARGO SUPER HEAVY DUTY BATTERY 12V 110AH YBX3642 - similar to @kermit_rr recomendation it has the terminals in the middle, but is a slightly lower rating so as long as the hankook physically fits I would go for that one.

Thanks unfortunately Hankook won't fit so I'll probably go for the Yuasa.

I went for one from Tanya, it directly replaced the original (sane part number) but it’s more powerful 1000 cca 120ah

I got an Enduroline C31-1000 from Tayna last time I needed one. You can get away with one with lesser capacity but it's nice to have a bit in reserve for cold damp mornings.
