need a new battery

Post by Pennycooks » Thu Dec 11, 2008 12:20 am

Can anyone tell me what battery I will need to buy for my Bongo. :? The one that is in it has had it. The battery in it at the moment doesn't look the right size. Thanks

Starter battery? Get a nice powerful one. I've got 95AmpHr (quite adequate) but you can get more powerful than that. Obviously check it will fit but there shouldn't be a problem with most car type batteries. I got mine for a good price delivered from http://www.batmanuk.com. You can get by with 75AmpHr but in the long run the more powerful one will serve you better esp. if you are tempted to use devices for any time with engine not running.
