Question for everyone who's running 'BIG' power, or relatively big power ICE wise-
WHAT make of battery does you all use in your car and why (if you have any particular reason for that make etc)??

I'm changing my battery soon and need to know what kind *roughly* people recommend/use etc. I've heard that Pulsar are quite good

and Knight...

Any help appreciated...

I got a big, high quality Halfords one - 500 amps. Does the trick for me, altough it was a bit of a tight squeeze to fit it on...

Cheers guys...

According to the guy @ Pulsar batteries tho if I have this battery:

http://www.pulsarbatteries.co.uk/exidepage.htm

I won't need TWO batteries for my ICE- does that sound right to any of you lot in the know??

The guy @ Knight batteries also said the same about this battery:

But it's red and won't go well with my car
