I use the Red Top 15.

No problems at all.
I normally cut the power when leaving the car.
It always starts the first time.

I do use a charger to top it up sometimes.

evouk, you have a kill switch? so theres nothing to drain the battery when youve cut it off

either demon tweeks or rally design i think, or a quick google search may show some other companys who provide them!

I have the the 15 on the cup racer, been fine since fitted (thanks Yozza for fitting a new one with the car) :D .

It never runs a high load like all the lights on obviously has no stereo and lots of removed electrics. For the road i would get something a bit bigger but for a race car this is more than enough.

I'm sure Yozza can provide all the parts needed for a battery relocation.
