Been having problems with my car's battery,mainly because i was not driving the car very much over the winter period,it seemed to be loosing it's charge after 3-4 days of not being driven ,but now it does not have enough cold crank power to start her up.
I am looking into gettin a fmic in the near future and have read on here that you need a different size/type battery to fit certain fmic's,so before i go to get my new battery just wondered if anyone had any suggestions as to the type of battery i need to get,as i doubt halfords or somewhere like that will have a s15 battery as such,details of a suitable replacement would be much appreciated cheers guys.

Its been a while since I did mine but all you need to do is make a mounting bracket, or I you can buy one.... Darren_S15 has one, not sure where he got it from though. Then bolt it to the battery tray in the right possition (nut the otherside of the battery tray) I used a rivot nut. The cable should be more than enough length to get to both terminals.
