go to the local tip (called the dump over there?) and find the used battery pile.
pick out all the blue batts, the marine ones because they are changed out anualy.
now take out your multimeter and look for anything above 12.6v
if you find one showing that or above that value, either "liberate" it or give the tip guys a few $$ to take it off their hands.
and wu-la, new field battery.

we did this and now have 2 marine grade starting batteries to power field equiptment, they also come in handy to start ye' ol' tractor from time to time. (cant beat 500 CCA)
thanks for your help but think i would rather buy new , the recycling laws are different here in the u,k and dought i could purchase those from the local tip . your help is appreciated if could just purchase this thing and get a couple of hours out of it that would be great ??
