Battery query

[c70geoff]

Hey folks just a little question regards car batteries
I have a type 096 on the Coupe but the 850 I recently purchased has a 027 now is this the correct battery for the 850 or is it the same 096 that I have on the coupe
Is the 027 up to the job etc etc
It's dead on the 850 so would like to know what people are running on their 850's please

I'm running a Yuasa 5000 096 £75 delivered

096 is the one to have mate, 027 has the same terminal orientation, and possibly came as standard on 850s, but not as powerful, especially in the winter as the 096.

I've just bought a 027 battery off ebay for £35 delivered for my 850 R. Its brand is "LION" which I have seen on carparts4less / ECP for £50.

Bit of a bargain I thought. My car has a 027 on it at the moment but its dead.
