Pedro... if i go for one .. its gonna be this one.. SuperCharge Gold MF31-931 Supercharge Batteries - Car Batteries, Maintenance, Expanded Grid Technology thats what they recommend

Thanks guys

6 years old, crikey that battery was due for a pension ages ago, that's a good run for a standard type battery, I was told that you need to drive at least 12 klms to replace the juice taken to start, so your short trips have probably proved fatal, Regards Frank
