Best Heavy Duty Battery For Saxo VTR
Im going to get a new battery for my car tomorrow, but I want to know what the best battery is to buy??? Like... Heavy Duty Batteries are what I am looking at but i dont want to be spending loads on it as I only need a nice good one to power the car and then ill get a red top optima battery for the ice when i get it installed.
Anyone know any cheap good heavy duty batteries??

Saxo Diesel Battery?
I'm sure it has a higher amp rating than the petrol ones!

Because they last longer and are better when holding electrical power consumption

Just get a good quality one. Ive been running a bosch one and its lasted a year, while running 3 amps, air horns, mega lights etc...
When i had my escort i bought a budget motorworld one and i bust it within 2 months. That was because of my subs and amps.

I Bought this battery for a replacement but also as a upgrade for my audio, cost 77 quid and is great, need to modify the plate the battery sits on as it doesn't fit.
