else would I invest £3 in one?!

Thanks for all the
advice, I actually bought a Battery for a Volkswagen Golf TDI and it works a
treat (only cost £31.00). I also purchased a battery conditioner that is
permanently linked to the battery and has a jack plug popping out of the
battery compartment cover. This plugs into a mains device that slowly
tops-up and uses battery power to fool the battery that it is working -
thus increasing the life of the battery and ensuring that the battery is on
full charge every time I power the beast up!!!!!!!!!!!!

You can get the AC Delco ones from the
Diesel Centre for under £50 - the same one Dave has been getting from his
local place - the ones with the screw terminals
If you want a really high quality
battery, check out www.dmstech.co.uk
and look at the Hawker SBS 40 or equivalent Red Top (I think they're 45Ah).
These are used in aircraft, and have a short circuit current of some 1400A -
this is the "cold crank" rating on a car battery. They are sealed gel cells
and are expensive. This is why I just went for an AC Delco.
A lot of Robot Wars entries use the
Hawkers - our robot draws in excess of 500A during a fight.

Can anybody
recommend a battery for the Delorean. Mine's had it and it looks like
the original owner got to work on it with a stanley knife to cut bits offit
to fit into the battery recess. My friendly auto-electrician (who wired
up my battery cut-off switch - Chris) recommended a battery of average quality
as batteries tend to deteriorate if they are not used
regularly.
