Have a look on Tayna batteries, they sell to public at trade price pretty much and deliver to your door Hope that helps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 I’ve got Varta batteries on my boat, lasted a few years and are good kit. Tanya batteries are good, excellent price and next day delivery to your house which is helpful 🙂 To dispose of your old batteries, take them to a scrap yard. Most will give you a few quid for them. Saves taking them to the tip or worse, ATS/Halfords which charge you to dispose of them 😮 Andy135 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy135 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Another vote for Tayna. And also agree about taking your old batteries to the scrappy. They'll usually pay you for them, and I use the proceeds to re-buy clean scrap lead to melt into weights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suzook12 Posted May 10, 2021 Share Posted May 10, 2021 Been chatting batteries with JonC, the yuasa ybx5623/5625/5627 look good, add the word marine on the side and pay another £100..... As with everything all comes down to budget, but you will be in the £200 range for good quality high capacity batteries Jed Stone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably get a better deal if you ask to swap, no cash involved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all gone to bank transfers as it's more traceable. Something to do with reducing metal thefts. They have to account for the transaction when I weigh anything in, and they have to show a payment out. I then have to buy scrap lead for the same amount, or close to.
