[Healeys] BN7 battery

[Daniel and Diane White]

Tim,
In addition to a quality battery as Rich suggested you may want to get a 
Battery Tender (Google them to get all the details).  It's advertised as 
  "plug it in and forget it".  I like it because I don't have to choose 
a charge amperage or wonder if I left it on long enough or too long. Get 
the larger size, not the one for motorcycle batteries. For me, it's 
worked very well.  When I installed my Optima battery in my BN7 I got 
one of the battery trays from British Car Specialists and used a couple 
of "J" bolts on each side through a piece of aluminum bar stock across 
the top.  Round off the sharp corners of the bar stock with your jig saw 
and everything looks quite nice.
Regards,
