worth noting that most batteries are now only available with posts and need a converter to allow flat terminals to connect.

Hi Guys Thanks for the advice. Pedropedro, you are right about the batteries and post connectors. Many seem to have veered away from the flat terminals. They are becoming few and far between. Cheers Lee
