Nick. A new battery was one of my many purchases during my electrical problems. If you find a 'standard' round terminal topped unit that you like remember that Maplin do some very nice gold plated connectors. These allow you to not modify the original side-type connections, about £4 each. I have posted pictures of mine in the files>electrical section. The addition of the large washer was beacuse the end of my cable was initally bent to make it fit a square top connector battery, and I don't have either my car, or my camera :-( to take a better picture at this time.
