batteries

I'm sure this has come up before but a quick Google's not helping.

Where's the best/cheapest place (online?) to buy a battery for my
Fireblade?

 

I'm not sure that buying on-line is the easiest solution as the
battery will have to sent without any acid.

Getting them online is a pain cos then you have to find a shop willing
to fill it with acid.

They cannot sent acid through the post.


My local Honda dealer got a battery last week for my KRS for 29 quid,
which given that BM batteries are huge and its an ABS equipped bike
which has a bigger battery I thought was a reasonable price.

well, Busters for one either supply their batteries gel-filled or with
acid packs. I'm just not sure they're the best priced for batteries...

 

www.gear4bikes.com nearly quid mind.

 

nearly 60 quid.... that's what I meant.

Not necessarily the case, last time I bought a battery it had two
separate bottle with the acid. Could be easily enough shiped.

I think its illegal for acid to be shipped.

How do people that buy acid get hold of it then?

 

I think people might be confusing royal mail with other courier companies
somewhere.

 

and yet...

I've just remembered there's a battery shop[1] round the corner from
where I live.

depends, doesn't it. There are plenty of company
who'd be allowed to ship.

Indeed!

You're right I was thinking of the rules for Royal Mail deliveries

Strangely enough I found the local dealer cheaper than mail order.
