go to a motor factors and have a word with them, and ask if they have a high capacity battery for a corsa b

oh, and also, why are diesel batteries better?
They provide more cold cranking amps. i.e. they will last longer when the engine is turned off for better starting performance. Only worth fitting one though if you are running a hefty ICE install and an uprated alternator.
