I have a Eliminator AGM in mine, came with it when I purchased the FL2 used last December........cranks up right away and no issues. I do a few long drives weekly however, well over an hour.

If you look closely that battery was made in April 2014. It’s never been used buy it’s over 5yrs old Whistle

Do you need an AGM ? If you dont why pay the extra for one ?

FWIW I bought a brand new F19 Varta Silver Dynamic from Tanya £95 delivered (inc waranty) (non-AGM)


Oh you bought a standard one Embarassed Jules

Also don’t overlook EuroCarParts as they have good offers on all the time or so it seems, we got the biggest Varta Silver (I think a 110 size) for the FL2 when we got ours and it was less than £100, I think about £87 after a 70% Shocked discount. Regards

Currently the Varta Silver F18 (called the Varta Silver 100 at ECP) is £102 (inc current discount) at ECP for you to go and collect and £98 from Tayna delivered to you.

I bought the F19 which is the same price and capacity as the F18 but is 15mm taller (why ?) Jules
