[Healeys] Batteries

[ROBERT BROWN]

Fred
I put a “yellow” top gel battery in my BT7 several years ago. I do have an alternator, that combination did not work. The battery had a 3 year warranty that I used twice. Each battery lasted about a year and then died at inopportune times. Now use a standard Wal-Mart battery and it has lasted at least 4 years.
BTW I put 8-10K miles on the car each year.
