Battery Advice Please
Submitted by Magic on Thu, 2011-06-16 08:06
My battery has died so now looking for a replacement. The existing one, a 400CCA, was used to crank over a 60hp 4st Yammie plus run the HDS8, lights etc. Would prefer a maint free battery. Which brand/s are good and what's good to steer clear of? What do you folks recommend.
Thanks
