thanks for warning, expect a few well poss many posts taking the michael, had quick search finding battery issues but no advice on best type to buy, thinking so many types like everthing in this life, would just post for advice,hoping someone would be sensible, your all welcome to ma funneral lol

Optima.

Best regardless of cost? Or best value, given that its going onto a Disco 1? Or best performance? Or best colour? etc

Personally, I like Alpha Batteries (Google them for website) for keen value, and I squeezed in a bigger one. The standard one is type 072, which is 600CCA. Mine is 800CCA type 334/250. I needed to make another battery locating bracket but no other mods, to get it in.

Nice to have an extra 200 for the winch, etc. Oh, and it has a second set of terminals which made connecting the winch cables much neater.

I fitted one of these to mine last weekend and I'm well impressed. same price as a 580 Unipart I was offered too. Ordered at midday and arrived 7am the next morning.

Welcome. That site has a stack of reveiws on that battery. That's what made my mind up.

Another vote for Tayna batteries here - always good service IME.

Tanya , I have 2 X Numax fitted

Three year guarantee, five and a half year old thread, they still working?

Just get the biggest you can fit in.

Highest DCA you can find, beans ain't worth much extra folding in my expirence!
Lots of cracking prices on twinterweb now days

Arriving today, will let you know if there is a miraculous change in my 300tdi starting capability
