That's twice now I've got that name wrong on here...
Delivery is usually next day and priced keenly I feel.
I know batteries dont often go wrong in the warranty period, but be aware that any internet battery seller will require you to ship the battery back to them for warranty purposes, whereas you can go to halfords and buy one and any issues just pop in there and get it sorted asap.
I will never buy another battery from them, its not so much the money rather the principal.
What you need to go searching is the battery 3 digit code, many landrovers took the 069.

plus 1 , also many couriers won’t accept batteries due to the acid and also it’s sending it back to them at ur own expense
next time will get a 019 yuasa battery , would never buy an exide again

I had Red top + Yellow Top in my Disco (miss it alot!) but I could never work out why they never had the same big numbers (ie) Ah and CCA) but as Allan above they certainly did the job when in minus temperatures?
Anyone know how they come to work better even with smaller capacities?
The point above (having to return even mail order) is a good one so 'Halfrauds' do a good range in Yuasa (well rated) and 2 people I know had to return them within guarantee periods.
Hallies wanted to test them but no quibbles - new battery and new period of guarantee so fair play to them on this occasion.....
Saving for a Red for my 90 cos they tend not to be so wide and long but taller iirc..

Whatever you get have a look at eurocarparts ebay shop. They deliver for free or you can pick up locally, also if there's a problem you can also take it back locally.
I was 3 years into a 4 year warranty with the disco battery when it started to fail and they exchanged it there and then.

Am I the only person who still solders the cable ends to the connectors?

Quite possibly but its an art and a crimp can be done reliably by a monkey!
I soldered all the ones on my series and the 90, but have since bought some crimp pliers which are much easier and faster.
when i fitted my split charge system i bought one of these

i recently fitted a split charge t max system in mine , did fit a leisure battery , not agm though
i believe however i can’t fit an agm battery as i have a smart alternator that charges up to 16 volts
