battery mk1 escort

[mickyb]

could anybody please tell me where i might get a battery that will fit my mk1 escort im fitting a 20litre pinto the tray only measures 140mm wide that seems to be the issue as a small battery does not have the cranking power a racing battery is to expensive and i dont want to put it in the boot cheers for any ideas

All my Escort batteries have come from Halfords.

My car has a high compression pinto, with a pretty titchy battery really. I never have any probs, but I do think a lot of that is because I have a hi amp alternator too. (£60 from PLR)

Flat post battery with about 360amps is part number 037,this will be plenty for a 2.0 pinto. The original rs2000 battery is near impossible to get.

A guy on here has a bigger battery he sent me this Pm.

 

The make of the battery is Yuasa Professional and it is 75AMPS it is the same physical size as the 45 amp standard battery for minis and fords etc.

 

I have not found the battery he said as yet so if you find a supplier please let me know !!!
