as above really, looking for a small, slim battery for a corsa b v6... theres no lights, no wipers, no heaters, no radio or any of that heavy unwanted stuff...

i was looking at the likes of the varley red top slim ones but wondering is there a cheaper and still sufficient power option

whats people make of these?

and

iv even seen one of the same size for around £30-40ish in my local motor factors...

sorry im not too clued up on electrical stuff but if you can point me and my small budget in the rite direction it'd be a big help
thanks in advance

Mitsubishi FTOs are 2.0 V6s but run off of a Micra Battery.

They're slimline HBO54 i think.

Just go into Halfords and ask for the Micra Battery HB054.

Bloke at work is selling an HB057, brand new from Halfords, never used. He wants £40 for it, still covered by the warranty too...

Nice job. I'd be tempted to slide a sheet of polycarb or similar down the side of it in case you get anything thrown up off the wheel.

What is that fitment? Was going to say MX5 is also small - that's what's in this pic
