Stuart,

thank you for this link, the Banner batteries have an acceptable look indeed (not mentioning the labels :mrgreen: ), have the top technology and exhibit good performances. I think I am going to the AGM 560 01 model as it should fit in my E.

As for the vintage look, I only found batteries with the vintage (acid) technology and the associated drawbacks. So much for the original style... :shrug:

MonAndrew77, as you are in the US then you’ll find better advice from jaglovers. Most of the users here are in the UK and have a great knowledge to help you on so many things but suppliers of items like batteries will be easier found by advice from fellow Americans hence try jaglovers.
