Default Car battery.

Need a new one for the old Rover. Mainly my fault as it hasn't been used
much this last year due to Covid. And has been left to go nearly flat a
few times.

Most places you go to supply via the reg number. And the Rover is too old
for their data base.

Two batteries fit. 069 and 072. Except that this once common battery code
is no longer universal.

Halfords (I have a trade card) no longer seem to do a suitable size,
either own brand or Yuasa.

The existing is a Bosch S4 027. Which by spec and dimensions is an 072.

Googling for that shows prices from just under £80 to near £200.

EuroCarParts and their off shoot uncompetitive. I could have collected
from them.

So chose a supplier I've heard of on Ebay, at £80 with free carriage.
