I get mine from the scrappy for a fiver a pop. Dosent work out that much cheaper as they normally only last 6 months. A new one should last a few years but I like not having to worry about them.
My mate bought one for £120 last week and his lad tipped it over and it burned a hole through itself. :o

Scrappy for me every time ;)

I run a split charge with two optimas, but the yellow top
Keeps draining so pump slows I ended up leaving vAn running for
The last four jobs , seem when battery volts drop off the pump/
Controller looses power .
So I'm guessing the battery isn't holding charge well
