Lucas FRV 11/7A Battery.

[eTypeG]

Where can I get a battery same/similar as/to the original Lucas FRV 11/7A ?

I use this one although bear in mind the terminals or on the outer edge rather than inner as per original fitment (which was stupid!): https://www.halfords.com/motoring/batte ... 74064.html


Most original were produced by the Antique Battery Company but very expensive and they seem to have given up business:

I have a modern battery, similar to the Halfords one, but with a huge green LUCAS sticker on it. Got it through an eBay seller several years back.

Does anyone know the max length a battery can be for a S1, two available I am looking at 10-1/4" and 12" ?

If you take the rectangular battery hold down frame with you it'll become clear quickly.

The Halfords battery is a perfect fit and costs £80 with a three year warranty claimable at any of their stores. Peel off the stickers and it is as anonymous as the original was. If you want a Lucas FRV sticker there is an example in the Factory Fit thread.

The Battery Central Mall one that is linked is perfect but is going to set you back a lot (£550) to get it shipped over here. Unless you are going concours the Halfords one is a no brainer.

The Antique Battery Co has retired from business but has been taken over and continue to produce the Lucas batteries: https://jimsbatterymfg.com/shop/

However the web site is geo-locked to the USA and they do not supply to the UK.
