Halfords is a car parts chain here in the UK, but the starting batteries wouldn't be very suitable.
I think I'll ask people I know who are into boats, as there are lots of marine batteries hanging around Falmouth harbour that would be good for a testing pack.
I think that new batteries may be a possibility, especially compared to 94.7 pence/litre of fuel and rising. If I do 10,000 miles in a year at 40mpg it will cost about £1000, so I can look at spending anything up to that on batteries, with the electricity cost fairly insignificant.
I'm picking the motor up from Plymouth tomorrow (hopefully), so things are moving along. I might need that Cougar sooner than I thought!
