Mark Gregory Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Excellent, but I think we need another column showing cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 28, 2019 Member Share Posted May 28, 2019 :-)Please could everyone add prices (and sources) they've seen... and even paid.JonathanPS: Even with cost that presentation of data shouldn't mislead anyone into thinking that it includes everything needed to make a decision. Lithium batteries are very light and very interesting. I wouldn't use any unsealed battery including the default Banner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StevehS3 Posted May 28, 2019 Share Posted May 28, 2019 Maybe the unloved Banner isn’t so bad after all. Lowest cost, highest capacity, highest CCA, all for a weight penalty of a decent breakfast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 For me. It is about the longest lasting when the alternator fails or the engine won’t start, in some remote location on a Saturday night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CageyH Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 The PC680 has a massive pulse current available for around 5 seconds (2250A I believe). This may explain why my car always starts first time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stridey Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 Ordered PC680 yesterday from Demontweeks, arrived today, 11 ish. Standard delivery. That’s Tayna level of delivery time, so looking good so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted August 12, 2019 Member Share Posted August 12, 2019 Recommendation for Batteries on the Web as a supplier of the Banner battery.They and Tanya will deliver. Caterham Parts stock them but won't.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sooty Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 JonathanJust to add to your table, I use a PC545 which quotes 460cca. Just fitted my third one, previous 2 having lasted 9 years each- pretty good for a small 13ah unit. Relocated mine down by the starter motor thus shortening the cable runs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anthonym Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Well impressed with Tayna, I ordered a Banner 53030 on 13th and it's here (which is to say nearby France) collected by me on 16th. Acid filled not dry to boot. Anthony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted September 10, 2019 Member Share Posted September 10, 2019 This has most definitely been discussed before, but what is the general consensus on lithium battery’s to replace the banner battery that has died in my R400K.I don't think that there is any consensus because there haven't been enough reports on particular makes and models. Probably the best single thread, and I'm trying to document mass and price and energy storage etc over there.But I'm totally convinced that they're worth considering.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonym Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I think use case has a lot to do with it. No one spec does it all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Member Jonathan Kay Posted July 26, 2021 Member Share Posted July 26, 2021 And a general reminder... if you change type of battery you might need:1 A new cage.2 New leads either for length or because of different terminals.3 A new smart conditioning charger with an appropriate mode such as AGM or lithium.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
