I need to purchase a new battery for our 1973 Wolseley Six as it is about to go for MOT after 16 years off the road.

I have used a slave battery up to now which is too small and needs constant charging.

Looking for advise please.

What is the correct size in Amps I should be looking for?

What are the dimensions of the battery?

Is there a standard Battery Code?

Thanks in anticipation.

Rob.

Sorry for the delay, Rocket. I had to track down a Six owner.

The WM says to use a Lucas A11 or A13. I can't directly translate these into "modern" batteries. Ahctog1 of this parish tells me that he has a Yuasa HSB057 battery in his car. This is a 430 amp battery and delivers 48A/hr. It came with a 5 year warranty as well.
