[mormargh]

Anyone recommend a decent battery supplier (Type 664 wet), A3 corridor twixt Guildford and Portsmouth ideally?

Google Barden Bat's

Merlin powerstore (google it) are in Poole, but will post. Sell good stuff, not always the cheapest. furneaux Riddell are near portsmouth, just off the A27

We used Barden. They are so very helpful, give excellent after sales service and are extremely knowledgeable (and just down the road) /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Barden in Segensworth, used them for Motorbike batts, because I wanted a decent make like Exide.
Segensworth is just off the M27, but a nightmare for rush ohour traffic!

Tayna- Google them on the web.
I have just bought two of their Elecsol 110 AmpHour models for a very reasonable price even including carriage. They are reinforced with carbon fibre to prevent damage when deep discharged. Come with a 5 year guarantee and arrived in a couple of days.
I chose these because they are the only ones apart from Varta (at twice the price) who make batteries low enough in height to go below the aft cabin bunk.

Scats in Godalming sell 664's at much lower prices than I have seen in any yacht related shop. They have both deep cycle and starter versions.

quick delivery...and seem cheap compared to others

Barden stock a good range, but are VERY expensive - the Squadron AGM's I have came from them at a tad under 150 quid each, found the same thing later ( as you do) on a caravan site at 80 quid each.
