Depends on do you mean 240volt to 12v
or do you mean 12v as in car battery ?

240v-12v examples =http://www.ripmax.com/item.asp?itemi...0&Category=070

http://www.ripmax.com/item.asp?itemi...0&Category=070

or 12v's
either go visit your local halfords or car parts stockists and try to get a good deal on leisure batteries or failing that a battery stockists ( ats ,kwikfit) and get a decent 12v tractor/truck battery

I think someone suggested picking them up at the tip also? I am guessing they are free there? Or the car breakers had a few when I took my car there.

you're best off with a leisure battery, they last an awful lot longer (over time) car batterys seem to die off quicker, i had two in one season (both from the scrap yard) and in the past 4 or so years ive had two leisure batterys over that period.

try get a 110 amp, the 75amp don't cut the biscuit for a full weekend racing.

Leisure batterys come with a 3 year garentee from the
Manufacturer, why didn't you take it back to where you got it from, if you had problems with it.
