Batteries
Looking at fitting a twin battery system to my 110 for expeds and trips away. I have all the parts to complete the job apart from the batterys.
Looking around the web I can find this version of the PC1500. There are several versions, but is this what everyone is using??

So an extra £11 for side terminals. Are they needed? 110 D250 SE HT

I would say no as they will surley be covered by the other battery or in the battery box where you cant get at them 2004 TD5 Defender 90 xs station wagon

To be brutally honest, I have no idea. I spend money on parts that I'm told I need and a very good friend who is a whizz with Veh electrics hangs the electric string and makes it all work for me.
He worked wonders on my D3 when that was wired for a second battery. So I have no hesitation in letting him work his magic on my 110 Thumbs Up Thumbs Up 110 D250 SE HT

I've hot the one with side terminals as they were cheaper, but they are a pain, making the two batteries more difficult to fit side by side. Got mine from Devon 4x4 as they were the cheapest with free postage.

From what I can see there are 3 versions of the PC 1500.

Top terminals
Side terminals
Top+side terminals.

Cost between them is about £11 ish. For practicality I don't think he side only is the best option. So it's a choice of top or top and side..
Not sure what the side terminals would be used for though 110 D250 SE HT

Sorry should have made my post clearer. My batteries have top and side terminals. When in the battery tray you can't get to the side terminals, and they catch on the other battery whilst trying to fit remove them and are a pain in the arse.
