the right battery is a type 005 which fits perfect with the OEM clamp

many people seem to fit type 056's which although work, are not tall enough for the standard clamp to work. Its odd though as the two types are about the same price so there is no real reason to bodge it.


Got myself a new 005 two months ago in prep for the colder weather, its a Varta and its been perfect. £40
