I have a newly aquired 1984 900 turbo, but the battery is dead within a day after charging. I am not convinced that the sealed fitted one is correct and there is no mention in the manual or Haynes manual about what it should be. (Halfords has a record of the car in its 'battery database' but no information on its... er... battery.) I have read on this site that bigger is better, and should be between 800 and 850 cranking amps. Any Brand names? (UK only). Also, think that there is a drain somewhere, hopefully non-exotic such as the 'glove compartment light' and 'passive control unit' solutions also posted on this site. Have never used google for this sort of thing - but a new day has dawned! Help... also, can beaded seat covers be bought online?
