Now I get why I kept killing Alphaline batteries. They are calcium batteries. Think the Bosch I killed was calcium too.
Will make sure the replacement I get doesn't like milk. Don't think I will be smart enough to start modifying my alternator. Learning is fun.
I tried using the charger at work. NATO Pro Pallet Charger linky , after 48 hours it came back with bad battery. :/
I fitted this to my alternator to increase the reg voltage to 14.7. ebay item number 271072108072. £11.99 +3.69 p&pNow I get why I kept killing Alphaline batteries. They are calcium batteries. Think the Bosch I killed was calcium too.

Rodger. Should I get the damn thing back I'll give it a punt.
That's the one. They don't stock the Alphaline one any more. Although that looks exactly the same, just with a different sticker!This is it I think? Or the newer model: http://www.batterymegastore.co.uk/product/MF31-1000/
Mine's a 2001 so hopefully leads are fine. Dad left the lights on and drained the battery leading an incredibly tedious phonecall trying to explain the EKA procedure
The battery is far too small (~60cca) so someone's changed it in the past so I'm after the Datatek approved beast for the future
