Can anyone recommend a high cranking battery low enough to fit under the boot floor

you won't be disappointed with an Optima Battery - though not the cheapest;

Cranking power v size of battery is something else :shock:

I wondered who made these? Think i've seen them on F1 Stock Cars. As you say though pricey and although I don' want a rubber battery these are possibly a bit too space age

Forgot to mention also, Optima batteries hold their charge for longer also.

Useful, when our Tigers are out on the 'odd' weekend :mrgreen:

I'll second Tony's comments, the Optima batteries are fantastic. Well worth the money.

I have nothing against Optima batteries. They have a fine reputation.

However, I cannot see the point of paying twice the price for an Optima compared to this Varta battery which has a 5 year guarantee:

You pays your money etc.
