£99.60 inc Vat

Very powerful battery, which does need special care. My MX5 regularly stands still for a couple of weeks between driving. After having this battery in my car for about half a year, I found it "completely dead" one day. My regular battery (trickle) charger refused to charge the Westco and ploclaimed it dead. I tried the Optimate 4 dual and that revived the battery within 48 hours with its advanced charging programme. The battery has been fully restored to its original capacity. I now keep the Westco on the Optimate charger when the car is parked in the driveway with the extension included with the Optimate. Westco + Optimate = reliable MX5! (no, I don't own shares in Westco, nor in Optimate!)
