Cheers for the info. My car has had the original ends removed and standard battery connections fitted. Nick. Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx> wrote: Hi Nick Robot Wars people use sealed gell cell SLA batts and typical ones are Hawker Red Top, though you'll get a lower capacity that'll fit in the hole because they're not the same shape as car batts. We can supply OEM style screw-post batteries brand new for around £80, sourced in the UK. A Hawker of similar capacity will see you well over £100 for an equivalvent.
