Delivered to your door! I'd recommend Tanya Batteries. Used them several times and friends I have recommended have used them and never had a problem.

Look for fully sealed. I have this one in my 3.1td Monterey: Numax CXV31MF 110ah and it's a leisure battery so can handle a few discharges too.

Here's some other options too:

Get a your self to a go outdoors shop if you have one near. The sell leisure batteries a lot cheaper than I could find anywhere.

Yep, I got BOTH my Numax batteries in Go Outdoors for almost the same price as my local motor factors wanted for ONE.

096 are what I've got. You'll be fine!

Thanks guys.

As I mentioned they have to fit my boxes which are a snug fit in my console, so large leisure batteries are out, and 096 batteries are good, or I suppose something smaller.

I found the Tanya site, very useful, and how I worked out I have 096Rs in there at the moment.

I'll see what Go outdoors have.

First thing, fully charge your batteries (independently) using a good charger at appx 5Amps.

Take a simple voltage reading using a DC Volt Meter set at 20 Volts.

Here are the readings Good to Bad:

VOLT READING CONDITION
12.6...................100% GREEN
12.5.................... 90% GREEN
12.42...................80% GREEN
12.32...................70% GREEN
12.2.....................60% GREEN
12.06...................50% GREEN
11.9.....................40% GREEN
11.75...................30% YELLOW
11.58...................20% YELLOW
11.31...................10% RED
10.5.....................0% RED

If in green a load test should also be done, followed by a starter amperage draw - all done the above done after cleaning the battery terminals and checking starter and ground connections for tightness and corrosion.
