Manstein Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Anybody know of a retailer for Banner batteries in the Southampton/ Portsmouth area. On tour in Devon at the moment and then off to Spain on Tuesday with the L7c tour. Battery doesn’t seem to be holding charge and too late to head back north for my spare or sort out a mail order delivery.thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Area Representative Golf Juliet Tango Posted May 4, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 4, 2019 How about contacting one of the local Area Organisers? Devon? Dorset? Local knowledge goes a long way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manstein Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Might have a look at a motorcycle suppliers I could use an odyssey at a pinch assuming the terminals can be altered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Member Jonathan Kay Posted May 4, 2019 Member Share Posted May 4, 2019 ... assuming the terminals can be altered.You can get adaptors but you might also need some new fat cables and a bit of bracket bending.If you can get a battery but need to do some fettling I can offer garage space in South Oxfordshire with a Halfords 10 minutes away.Jonathan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manstein Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Thanks for the pointers and offers of assistance I’m hoping to meet with the Devon group tomorrow at Colyford so they might have some ideas. I have a jump starter with me so not completely immobile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Budjuggler Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 Perhaps the Devon group could bring a spare as a loan? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Area Representative paul richards Posted May 4, 2019 Area Representative Share Posted May 4, 2019 Beware Halfords. We went there for an emergency battery on the first leg of our Picos trip. They had one with the same dimensions as the Banner (even had a small picture of a 7 on it) but the base was slightly too big for the tray.

Manstein Posted May 4, 2019 Author Share Posted May 4, 2019 Paul, Just been into Halfords Tiverton but nothing available and had forgotten it was a BH on Monday and v early ferry on Tuesday scuppers any dealers. As stated I can start it on the jumper battery and once the engines warm it will fire up. I’ve been told about a motor cycle dealer in a nearby town so that might be a possibility. I’m sure Roger will be delighted to give me a push start for the duration of the trip!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil G Posted May 4, 2019 Share Posted May 4, 2019 PGM keep stock. I could pick one up Monday and delivery when we meet at Travelodge or ferry. Bollocks.....Forgot it was bank holiday and PGM wont be open......I'll text Andy tomorrow just to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
