i'm glad the dirty 6 i bought has a recent BMW 6-pot one on it ,the one on the e30 is history now,after charging it fully today it wouldn't start the car after 2 hours !

i've never bought a battery in 20 yrs :D

The last one I bought was about 8 years ago,
the tourer hasnt been used since October, so obviously the battery was flat as a fart,
had it on charge for about 6 hours, and it barely brought on the dash lights
:(

It's all too quiet round here, time to wake the dead :D :D

Tight b4rstads! Out of my 4 runners ive had to buy 3 batteries in the last 2 years, mainly so I can leave them for long periods without having to charge, I hate f00king about with batteries
