I have just bought a new battery for my 300tdi from a company called Tayna and the service was brilliant. Next day delivery and I must have ordered it at gone 2pm.
I bought an Enduroline (https://www.tayna.co.uk/19001340-Enduroline-Battery-for-Land-Rover-P9037.html) and it looks more than capable with the specs and it has central terminals to keep it away from the seat box. Cheers |

Any 019 size battery will fit the Puma, earlier Defenders had a clamp around the top of the battery and used a different size. That quoted above may not be a good fit in the battery tray despite saying it is for Landrover on the Tanya website.
Other options are https://www.tayna.co.uk/Type-019-Varta-Sil...P3127.html , good price with a 5 yr warranty, for convenience but not price http://www.halfords.com/motoring/bulbs-bla...ery-hsb019, also with a 5 year warranty - I have one of these fitted to my Defender (previously in my D3) and all seems good even at -10. Another https://www.tayna.co.uk/EA1000-Exide-Premi...P7488.html with 4 year warranty. If I was replacing the battery now i'd use the Varta one. |

I'd use a Varta one too, but if you've got a good local auto electrical place pop in there and see what they have.
It's worth doing that IMO because even the best batteries go wrong sometimes, and they're a faff to change if you aren't local. We use Fakenham Auto Electrics who have good prices and good service, we've had a Varta go wrong recently and that was a very easy swap with them. Obviously I'm not suggesting you come all the way to Norfolk, but if a small town like ours has a decent place like that they must exist elsewhere too  |

I have only bought Varta for the last 15 years or so, never had a problem with them and seem to be long lasting.

Thanks for the replies fellas.
I was tempted by the Varta battery but in the end Halfords had a Type 019 Yuasa Black series with lifetime warranty. It was a bit more expensive at £159 but since I'm keeping my truck I reckon they'll be giving me a new one in 7 or 8 years time! Another advantage is they are 5 minutes away so easy to arrange a swap if the battery develops a fault. Once again cheers for the advice  |

Hope you have some paperwork on that and when you pull it out of the drawer in 7 years time the words have not completely faded off the receipt!
