BlueTR3A-5EKT Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I used the Triumph Stag battery on my TR3A with negative earth from Halfords.

Geko Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 What hasn't been discussed are the merits of compact Lithium batteries for our TR's. 70% fat trimming...this is a performance upgrade in itself. Anyone ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
AndyR100 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 The usual suspects are Bosch, Varta and Halfords .... the latter is made more attractive if you have (or have access to) a Halfords trade card. ........ Andy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Chilliman Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 Changed batteries a couple of years back for a red top - couldn't believe the weight & size difference with brilliant performance and the added safety of a battery that can be fitted at pretty much any angle without fear of acid spills....

carld Posted October 27, 2019 Author Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Thanks for the help to date, I had used the search function, but it was from 2016 and therefore a lot of the links were dead. Edited October 27, 2019 by carld Quote Link to post Share on other sites
trchris Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 check out the GSF website they have up to 60% off batteries using a code Chris Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Steves_TR6 Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 I think the Halfords option is an 042 Calcium battery. one was fitted by the po the day i bought my car back in december 2012, it’s still going strong. hth Steve Quote Link to post Share on other sites
marko Posted October 27, 2019 Report Share Posted October 27, 2019 A 069 or a 072 Battery - They vary dramatically in price so shop around. I've just bought a new 072 off Ebay for £48.00 with a 74AH capacity and a CCA of 650 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
