Laurie,what a dreadful price, I am so sorry. Is there any help you can get. I just cannot take it in, such an amount for a battery. Dreadful. Got the gel and am hoping it works as my shoulder and back are giving me H??? at the moment. cheers.

Penny, you already give me help, that's what my disability allowance is for, not for sending the grandkids to Disneyland which is what seems to be the norm!

It is more expensive than a normal battery because it has to have built in safety features for carriage on public transport such as trains and aeroplanes. There Are quite rigorous international standards.
