My Morgan 4/4 is 9 years old and is still on its original battery , I think it has lasted so long as it is on a trickle charger when not in use .
It is time for a new battery , can anyone advise a good replacement that will have the same dimensions as the original ,the car is 2015 .

Type 075 is the correct for your car generic type with regard to size, capacity and terminal type/orientation. Just Google for brands - I use Hankook.

You certainly don't need a battery switch on a Roadster. Mine starts fine on its six year old battery after as much as a month. I do give the battery a top up overnight on a smart charger every couple of months though particularly in the winter.

I use a CTEK on Belle. The battery is I presume the original Banner unit so I need to replace it soon as it is 10 years old.

I also have a cetek but it is not easy to put the clamps, maybe easier with eyelets?
But the battery is outside so maybe it is not very secure.?

I have a CTEK with the eyelets attached to the battery and the plug fed through to behind the passenger seat. Connected most of the time as I do a lot of shortish journeys.

Jimmy, have a look at the Tayna Batteries website, shows dimensions, capacity etc. and a wide range of brands and prices.
