tbh there nothing to shout about.

cept the only good thing is they are dry batt's so you can mount then at any angle.

Ok cheers guys. I really need to know the dimensions please if anyone has one of these batteries. I need to know if it's feasible to go with my battery cover as the battery I have at the mo is rather odd and large
