Engine Battery

Hi all

This is my first post on here, everyone seems very helpful so was just after some advice.

We have recently brought a Bedford CF 1976 2.3 Petrol.

With some help of friends and the internet I have just got round to re-wiring the electrics, however, last evening I discovered that a 110ah leisure battery was being used to start the engine ( we had wondered why it struggled to get going now and again)

Would anybody be able to recommend an engine battery that we would be best buying?

We are then planning to move the leisure battery to the back of the van and use this is our leisure battery charging off the split charge relay

Thanks
Nathan

Hi Nathan,welcome to the club.
Your best bet is to go for the highest cold cranking amp (CCA)you can find at the lowest price.

Sorry for the late reply and thank you for your help! We had purchased our leisure battery from tanya batteries and the service was great so we decided to go with the varta engine battery. it is working perfectly.Hopefully it will continue to do so when the colder months arrive
Thanks for the advice
