Anyone know of a really good battery supplier?

[Carduelis]

I'm trying to find a circa 100AH 12v battery which is a max of 170mm wide. There seems to be an automotive convention of 175mm wide /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif

Any ideas as to where I might find one? The alternative is a lot of carpentry to make a shelf for it in a higher position.

Manufacture their own not just rebadge and should be able to match the size.
Not far from you at Bishops Stortford
We use them all the time for various jobs.

www.barden-uk.com would be my first choice

Battery Megastore were the cheapest, but their courier let them down.

Varta are excellent manufacturers. Have a look at their online catalogue and then you can order from any battery supplier that deals with Varta (or Varta will give you the name of a distributor).
