Sorry if this is in the correct place, please feel free to move...
My ford Ranger XLT 05 plate battery seems to of given up the ghost, as soon as we have a cold snap the battery fails. Other than that its is always charged enough to start to start the truck under normal circumstances.
Now the question is can anyone suggest best / cheapest place to get a new battery.
Some thing like this http://www.tayna.co.uk/250H-Numax-Car-B ... P1184.html
Cheers Pete

There are quite a few suppliers on the bay of e that are quite reasonable. That said, whenever I need a battery I always pop to my local motor factors. 
Have you checked the water levels in the battery?
