    A cheep 50-60ah car battery will work just fine if you are only using it as a starter battery.

    Thanks.

    It's only for starting it, I won't be running anything electrical, dept sounder, sat nav etc. unless engine is running.

    Any auld car battery would turn that I'd say. Have a 'normal' car battery on a 60HP and could turn the starter for ages before it dies
