Re: Punto Not liking Cold!

the easiest and cheapest way to get a bigger battery is often opting for a diesel one. make sure the terminals are the same and the dimensions are similar so it will fit under the bonnet though. or you can go and get a decent battery life the optima range that are deep cycle and will be healthy for a long time.

im my fiestas and escort i swapped my battery for a diesel one each time as my stereo was killing the stock ones in time.still got to sort it out on my bravo tho.
