A type 036 battery is a type number - manufacturers will vary a bit.

The battery is a 12 volt (obviously!) 41 amp hour type and that means the capacity is such that fully charged, it can supply 41 amperes for an hour. The figure of 300 amps is the cold cranking current, but obviously, at this extreme rate of discharge, the effective capacity is reduced, ie 41 amps x 60 minutes is more than 300 amps for however long the battery can do it.

A higher cold cranking figure is good, but not the be all and end all - 300 versus 285 is neither here nor there. I'm reasonably happy with the quality of Halfords batteries, but their recommendations can suck big time.

Many parts catalogues bomb out with Morgan bits, and they certainly do for batteries.

I did some research last night, and at least 2 on-line retailers were 'recommending' a battery that could well be utterly wrong for your car as it is a different size!

Measure the battery you have, and if you have another car to go in, take the battery strap off (as it fits over the battery if a box design) and go to Halfords and make sure theirs fits (I'm 99% sure it will).

You may also find that a motor factors is helpful once you name the car.
