Batteries

It's lacking the oomph to start, UK recommendations for a replacement please? Sorry, I know it's been on here before, but you (at least I can't)can never find these things just hen you need them. Many thanks in anticipation. Derek, Chelmsford.

Yep, Motobatt batteries with MAT tech offer higher cranking amps. I've just fitted one to my FZ1 and now it fires up much quicker due to it being cranked better.
