Try Varta not cheap but good.




Ill second that , I have a P6 in my garage,
it was saved from the scrapyard more than 10 years ago, where it was left by its previus owner around 1996/97 (app?)
it still runs the same old Varta battery.

When we found it at the scrapyard, we got the keys & she just started (still does every spring) Cool no start gas or any other help needed.

I have spoken to Varta,s Danish agent, and told him the story.
He wants me to make a picture for him, of the serial number, so he can see just how old the battery is ?
it might end up in a commercial for Varta.





My Green Mini, also has a Varta, and every autumm I leave it in the garage with the alarm system on.
I then forget to go back, and turn it off, once I realize it wont come out untill next spring/summer.

Come spring the battery was COMPLETELY dead, but I just parked my dayli drive, and connected them some jump cables,
let it charge for a couple of minutes and she started right away, and drove all summer.

I did this year after year.

As above Varta - by far the best at little extra money. The previous postings say it all.
