I know what you saying but im limited to space and obviously the higher CCA the bigger the battery. I got 2 Elecsol deep cycles under the seat which gives me 200ah and my red top starter is fooked!! So thats 3 batterys under the seat. Cant justify buying another red top, imo a normal well maintained sealed battery lasts just as long! Its all about the tape measure!!!

Nice one shall have a look. My landy is 1993. I nearly took a sledgehammer to my battery box!! All they had to do was make the box flat at the bottom and life would have been so much easier. Got there in the end god knows how im gonna get my red top out LOL! Angle grinder?

Well 800 does sound comfortable and im realising again why I bought the Red Top, a lot of muscle in a small package!!

Check all your earths and starter motor wiring, a red top being earthed through the hand brake cable is like a fiew AAs with a decent earth!
